Disposal of effluents without neutralization has become general practice. These effluents are chemically heterogeneous, contain organic and inorganic pollutants including, sugar baggage, molasses, carbonates, bicarbonates. The impact of sugar industry effluents on microbial activities in terrestrial ecosystem is scanty. There is also significant interest in the study of soil enzymes because such effect reflects the potential capacity of a soil to perform certain biological transformation of soil fertility. 0aMicrobiology. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aPollution prevention. 0aEnvironmental pollution. 0aEnvironmental management.14aMicrobiology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2300424aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aIndustrial Pollution Prevention.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3502024aTerrestrial Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3503024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aGolla, Narasimha.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aVengatampalli, Rangaswamy.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942654908iPrinted edition:z9783319426563 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42655-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03986nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245009800253250001800351264007500369300003400444336002600478337002600504338003600530347002400566490006200590505098700652520093001639650002902569650001802598650002202616650001802638650010002656650011202756650009302868650008902961700008103050710003403131773002003165776003603185776003603221776003603257830006203293856004603355912001403401950005303415978-3-319-50275-5DE-He21320191022122452.0cr nn 008mamaa170221s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195027559978-3-319-50275-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-50275-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a577.1422310aShale Gas: Ecology, Politics, Economyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Sergey S.

Resetting data, new data, new stories - information upon classic subjects (crossing methodologies new results). .  aThis book is the product of the 2nd World Conference on Environmental History, held in Guimarães, Portugal, in 2014. It gathers works by authors from the five continents, addressing concerns raised by past events so as to provide information to help manage the present and the future. It reveals how our cultural background and examples of past territorial intervention can help to combat political and cultural limitations through the common language of environmental benefits without disguising harmful past human interventions. Considering that political ideologies such as socialism and capitalism, as well as religion, fail to offer global paradigms for common ground, an environmentally positive discourse instead of an ecological determinism might serve as an umbrella common language to overcome blocking factors, real or invented, and avoid repeating ecological loss. Therefore, agency, environmental speech and historical research are urgently needed in order to sustain environmental paradigms and overcome political, cultural an economic interests in the public arena. This book intertwines reflections on our bonds with landscapes, processes of natural and scientific transfer across the globe, the changing of ecosystems, the way in which scientific knowledge has historically both accelerated destruction and allowed a better distribution of vital resources or as it, in today’s world, can offer alternatives that avoid harming those same vital natural resources: water, soil and air. In addition, it shows the relevance of cultural factors both in the taming of nature in favor of human comfort and in the role of the environment matters in the forging of cultural identities, which cannot be detached from technical intervention in the world. In short, the book firstly studies the past, approaching it as a data set of how the environment has shaped culture, secondly seeks to understand the present, and thirdly assesses future perspectives: what to keep, what to change, and what to dream anew, considering that conventional solutions have not sufficed to protect life on our planet. 0aLife sciences.14aLife Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L000041 aVaz, Estelita.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aJoanaz de Melo, Cristina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCosta Pinto, Lígia M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941083808iPrinted edition:z978331941084508iPrinted edition:z9783319822624 0aEnvironmental History,x2211-9019 ;v640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41085-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03418nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001700188072002300205072001600228082001400244100008000258245014500338250001800483264007500501300006800576336002600644337002600670338003600696347002400732490006500756505019700821520092601018650001801944650001801962650003501980650003002015650002202045650008902067650011202156650009702268650012602365650009302491710003402584773002002618776003602638776003602674830006502710856004602775912001402821950005302835978-3-319-46445-9DE-He21320191022002225.0cr nn 008mamaa160930s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194644599978-3-319-46445-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-46445-92doi 4aQE514-516.5 7aRBGK2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRBGK2thema04a551.92231 aNader, Fadi Henri.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMulti-scale Quantitative Diagenesis and Impacts on Heterogeneity of Carbonate Reservoir Rocksh[electronic resource] /cby Fadi Henri Nader.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXVI, 146 p. 107 illus., 92 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in Oil and Gas Exploration & Production,x2509-372X0 aIntroduction -- Characterization of diagenesis -- Quantitative diagenesis -- Numerical modelling of diagenesis -- Petroleum systems and basin evolution -- Conclusions and general perspectives.  aThis book is both a review and a look to the future, highlighting challenges for better predicting quantitatively the impact of diagenesis on reservoir rocks. Classical diagenesis studies make use of a wide range of descriptive analytical techniques to explain specific, relatively time-framed fluid-rock interaction processes, and deduce their impacts on reservoir rocks. Future operational workflows will consist of constructing a conceptual diagenesis model, quantifying the related diagenetic phases, and modelling the diagenetic processes. Innovative approaches are emerging for applied quantitative diagenesis, providing numerical data that can be used by reservoir engineers as entry (input) data, and for validating results of numerical simulations. Geometry-based, geostatistical and geochemical modelling do not necessarily mimic natural processes, they rather provide reasonable solutions to specific problems. 0aGeochemistry. 0aFossil fuels. 0aGeology—Statistical methods. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aEconomic geology.14aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aFossil Fuels (incl.

Application of Hyperspectral Data -- 5 -- Forward/Biooptical Modeling and Calibration -- 6 -- Inverse Modeling and Validation -- 7 -- Conclusion and Role of Hyperspectral Data in Global Change Research.  aThis book provides details on of the utility of hyperspectral remote sensing – NASA/AVIRIS in nearshore water quality issues of NY/NJ. It demonstrates the use of bio optical modeling and retrieval techniques to derive the concentrations of important water quality parameters (chlorophyll, color dissolved organic matter and suspended sediments) in the study area. The case study focuses on the nearshore waters of NY/NJ considered as a valued ecological, economic and recreational resource within the New York metropolitan area. During field campaigns (1998-2001) measurements were made to establish hydrological optical properties of the NY/NJ nearshore waters with concurrent NASA/AVIRIS overflights. The field measurements included: 1) concurrent above and below surface spectral reflectance; 2) shipboard sampling for determination of inherent optical properties (IOP); and 3) concentrations of optically important water quality parameters. Understanding the relationship between reflectance, absorption and scattering is essential for developing the analytical algorithm necessary to use remote sensing as a monitoring /management tool in the nearshore environment. 0aApplied ecology. 0aCoasts. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aApplied Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1902324aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946947808iPrinted edition:z9783319469485 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46949-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03340nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100007100268245010500339250001800444264008200462300006500544336002600609337002600635338003600661347002400697490003600721505029500757520098401052650001602036650001802052650003002070650009502100650011202195650012602307700007802433710003402511773002002545776003602565776003602601776003602637830003602673856004602709912001402755950005302769978-3-662-55032-8DE-He21320191021213503.0cr nn 008mamaa170808s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625503289978-3-662-55032-87 a10.1007/978-3-662-55032-82doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aYao, Jun.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFractured Vuggy Carbonate Reservoir Simulationh[electronic resource] /cby Jun Yao, Zhao-Qin Huang.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 245 p. 152 illus., 82 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geophysics,x2364-91190 aIntroduction -- Numerical simulation of discrete fracture model -- Numerical simulation of discrete fracture-vug network model -- Numerical simulation of equivalent media model -- Numerical simulation based on mixed model -- Numerical simulation based on multi-scale finite element methods.  aThis book solves the open problems in fluid flow modeling through the fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs. Fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs usually have complex pore structures, which contain not only matrix and fractures but also the vugs and cavities. Since the vugs and cavities are irregular in shape and vary in diameter from millimeters to meters, modeling fluid flow through fractured vuggy porous media is still a challenge. The existing modeling theory and methods are not suitable for such reservoir. It starts from the concept of discrete fracture and fracture-vug networks model, and then develops the corresponding mathematical models and numerical methods, including discrete fracture model, discrete fracture-vug model, hybrid model and multiscale models. Based on these discrete porous media models, some equivalent medium models and methods are also discussed. All the modeling and methods shared in this book offer the key recent solutions into this area. 0aGeophysics. 0aFossil fuels. 0aGeotechnical engineering.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aFossil Fuels (incl.

Coupling phytoremediation appositeness with bioenergy plants: A socio-legal perspective (Rashwet Shrinkhal).  aThe globally escalating population necessitates production of more goods and services to fulfil the expanding demands of human beings which resulted in urbanization and industrialization. Uncontrolled industrialization caused two major problems – energy crisis and accelerated environmental pollution throughout the world. Presently, there are technologies which have been proposed or shown to tackle both the problems. Researchers continue to seek more cost effective and environmentally beneficial pathways for problem solving. Plant kingdom comprises of species which have the potential to resolve the couple problem of pollution and energy. Plants are considered as a potential feedstock for development of renewable energy through biofuels. Another important aspect of plants is their capacity to sequester carbon dioxide and absorb, degrade, and stabilize environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, poly-aromatic biphenyls, radioactive materials, and other chemicals. Thus, plants may be used to provide renewable energy generation and pollution mitigation. An approach that could amalgamate the two aspects can be achieved through phytoremediation (using plants to clean up polluted soil and water), and subsequent generation of energy from the phyto-remediator plants. This would be a major advance in achieving sustainability that focuses on optimizing ‘people’ (social issues), ‘planet’ (environmental issues), and ‘profit’ (financial issues). The “Phytoremediation-Cellulosic Biofuels” (PCB) process will be socially beneficial through reducing pollution impacts on people, ecologically beneficial through pollution abatement, and economically viable through providing revenue that supplies an energy source that is renewable and also provides less dependence on importing foreign energy (energy-independence). The utilization of green plants for pollution remediation and energy production will also tackle some other important global concerns like global climate change, ocean acidification, and land degradation through carbon sequestration, reduced emissions of other greenhouse gases, restoration of degraded lands and waters, and more. This book addresses the overall potential of major plants that have the potential to fulfil the dual purposes of phytoremediation and energy generation. The non-edible bioenergy plants that are explored for this dual objective includeJatropha curcas, Ricinus communis, Leucaena leucocephalla, Milletia pinnata, Canabis sativa, Azadirachta indica, andAcacia nilotica. The book addresses all possible aspects of phyto-remediaton and energy generation in a holistic way. The contributors are one of most authoritative experts in the field and have covered and compiled the best content most comprehensively. The book is going to be extremely useful for researchers in the area, research students, academicians and also for policy makers for an inclusive understanding and assessment of potential in plant kingdom to solve the dual problem of energy and pollution. 0aEnvironmental engineering. 0aBiotechnology. 0aWaste management. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aSustainable development. 0aEcology . 0aPlant science. 0aBotany.14aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3300024aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aPlant Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L240001 aBauddh, Kuldeep.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSingh, Bhaskar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKorstad, John.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103083308iPrinted edition:z978981103085708iPrinted edition:z978981109785040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3084-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03014nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245009600255250001800351264006700369300006400436336002600500337002600526338003600552347002400588505055200612520069001164650003801854650002101892650012101913650009202034700007902126700007602205710003402281773002002315776003602335776003602371776003602407856004602443912001402489950005302503978-94-024-1011-2DE-He21320191027121624.0cr nn 008mamaa170211s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024101129978-94-024-1011-27 a10.1007/978-94-024-1011-22doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aMapping Across Academiah[electronic resource] /cedited by Stanley D.

The equivalence of data assimilation via 4D-Var and FSM is proven and problems using low-order dynamics clarify the process of data assimilation by the two methods. The problem of return flow over the Gulf of Mexico that includes upper-air observations and realistic dynamical constraints gives the reader a good idea of how the FSM can be implemented in a real-world situation. . 0aData mining. 0aComputer simulation. 0aComputers. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aGeology—Statistical methods.14aData Mining and Knowledge Discovery.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1803024aSimulation and Modeling.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1900024aModels and Principles.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1801624aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aQuantitative Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170301 aLewis, John M.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aJabrzemski, Rafal.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331939995908iPrinted edition:z978331939996608iPrinted edition:z9783319820101 0aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-521740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-39997-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03608nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001500188072002300203072001400226082001600240100007200256245009700328250001800425264006500443300006500508336002600573337002600599338003600625347002400661490004100685505043000726520098601156650003002142650002402172650002302196650001802219650002302237650012602260650009502386650009402481650010402575700007102679710003402750773002002784776003602804776003602840776003602876830004102912856004602953912001402999950005303013978-981-10-4379-6DE-He21320191026092637.0cr nn 008mamaa170412s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110437969978-981-10-4379-67 a10.1007/978-981-10-4379-62doi 4aTA703-705.4 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a624.1512231 aHuang, Yu.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aHazard Analysis of Seismic Soil Liquefactionh[electronic resource] /cby Yu Huang, Miao Yu.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXX, 165 p. 112 illus., 87 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Natural Hazards,x2365-06560 aIntroduction -- Macroscopic Characteristics of Seismic Liquefaction -- Liquefaction Potential Evaluation Based on In situ Testing -- Laboratory Experimental Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Liquefiable Soil -- Physical Model Testing for Dynamic Characteristics of Seismic Soil Liquefaction -- Numerical Simulation for Deformation of Liquefiable Soils -- Comprehensive Evaluation for Liquefaction Damage During Earthquakes.  aThis book presents comprehensive hazard analysis methods for seismic soil liquefaction, providing an update on soil liquefaction by systematically reviewing the phenomenon’s occurrence since the beginning of this century. It also puts forward a range of advanced research methods including in-situ tests, laboratory studies, physical model tests, numerical simulation, and performance-based assessment. Recent seismic liquefaction-related damage to soils and foundations demonstrate the increasing need for the comprehensive hazard analysis of seismic soil liquefaction in order to mitigate this damage and protect human lives. As such the book addresses the comprehensive hazard analysis of seismic soil liquefaction, including factors such as macroscopic characteristics, evaluating the liquefaction potential, dynamic characteristics and deformation processes, providing reliable evaluation results for liquefaction potential and deformation in the context of risk assessment. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aEngineering design. 0aCivil engineering. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation.14aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aEngineering Design.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T1702024aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2300424aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U280001 aYu, Miao.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981104378908iPrinted edition:z978981104380208iPrinted edition:z9789811351228 0aSpringer Natural Hazards,x2365-065640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4379-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03114nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172050001600188072001700204072002300221072001600244082001400260100009600274245020600370250001800576264007500594300005300669336002600722337002600748338003600774347002400810490004900834520070400883650002401587650001801611650001901629650001601648650002001664650001801684650009501702650011201797650009001909650009501999650008902094650008902183710003402272773002002306776003602326776003602362830004902398856004602447912001402493950005302507978-3-319-44627-1DE-He21320191022022328.0cr nn 008mamaa160917s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194462719978-3-319-44627-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-44627-12doi 4aQE601-613.5 4aQE500-639.5 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.82231 aDim, Chidozie Izuchukwu Princeton.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aHydrocarbon Prospectivity in the Eastern Coastal Swamp Depo-belt of the Niger Delta Basinh[electronic resource] :bStratigraphic Framework and Structural Styles /cby Chidozie Izuchukwu Princeton Dim.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 71 p. 49 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,x2191-5369  aThis book broadens readers’ understanding of the stratigraphic framework and structural styles for improved hydrocarbon prospectivity in the intermediate and deeper horizons of the eastern Coastal Swamp Depo-belt of Nigeria’s Niger Delta Basin.

Lithosphere Structure and Dynamics -- 2. Heat Conduction and Thermal Parameters -- 3. Thermal State -- 4. Temperature and Magmatic Processes -- 5. Heat in the Groundwater Flow -- 6. Underground Temperatures and Climate Changes.  aThis book, now in its second edition, offers a comprehensive and modern treatment on the background knowledge of heat transfer processes in the lithosphere. In the light of the success of the first edition, several chapters of the book have been revised and the book has been enriched with a new chapter on geothermal methods used for the inference of past climate changes. The book starts with a brief review of global tectonics and of the structure of the crust and upper mantle. Then the theory of heat conduction as well as the thermal properties and the methods for the determination of thermal conductivity and radiogenic heat are introduced. Subsequently the geothermal flow and the thermal state of the lithosphere and deep interior are analyzed. The formation, upwelling mechanisms, solidification and cooling of magmas, which can be a fundamental heat source in many geothermal systems, are reviewed.

Beginning with the big picture, this book aims to illustrate the depth of the water security crisis and its interconnections with other aspects of societal development. It particularly draws a connection to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and discusses that challenges faced in meeting the 17 sustainability development goals (SDG) by the year 2030. Moving from international to domestic and community perspectives, this book provides a unique analysis of issues and solutions to the water issues we face today in light of the ever looming global changes brought on by climate change. Over the past few decades the recognition of our common need for water has increased, as policymakers have sought to place more focus on the individual within policy. After the recognition of water and sanitation as a fundamental human right by the United Nations General Assembly in 2010, there is increasing recognition of the individual as the building block for the struggle for water security. This reality also intersects with adverse impacts of global climate change, and the book responds to the broader question: will clean and safe water be available where we need it and when we need it in the future? 0aSustainable development. 0aHuman rights. 0aWater.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aHuman Rights.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/R1902024aWater, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2000001 aDevlaeminck, David.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAdeel, Zafar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSandford, Robert.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950160408iPrinted edition:z978331950162808iPrinted edition:z9783319843315 0aWater Security in a New World,x2367-400840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50161-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03039nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245027000268250001800538264006500556300006800621336002600689337002600715338003600741347002400777490003600801520091800837650001601755650002801771650009501799650011401894700007402008700007602082700007602158710003402234773002002268776003602288776003602324776003602360830003602396856004602432912001402478950005302492978-981-10-3244-8DE-He21320191026012158.0cr nn 008mamaa170331s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110324489978-981-10-3244-87 a10.1007/978-981-10-3244-82doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aTechnology and Application of Environmental and Engineering Geophysicsh[electronic resource] :bSelected Papers of the 7th International Conference on Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, ICEEG-Beijing 2016 /cedited by Qingyun Di, Guoqiang Xue, Jianghai Xia.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 283 p. 174 illus., 130 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geophysics,x2364-9119  aThis book focuses on essential theories, methods and techniques in the field of environmental and engineering geophysics that can contribute to resource detection and environmental protection.

The environmental impacts of such rapid economic changes have been, more frequently than otherwise, degrading in character. Environmental impacts of economic activities create degraded natural ecosystems by over utilization of nature’s provisioning ecosystem services (from Himalaya to the Ocean), as well, by the use of the natural environment as sink for dumping of unmarketable products or unused inputs of economic activities. Such processes affect wide range of ecosystem processes on which the natural environment including human population depend on. Critical perspectives cast by various chapters in this book draw attention to the various ways in which space and power interact to produce diverse geographies of sustainability in a globalizing world. They also address the questions such as who decides what kind of a spatial arrangement of political power is needed for sustaining the environment. Who stands to gain (or lose) what, when, where, and why from certain geographical areas being demarcated as ecologically unique, fragile and vulnerable environments? Whose needs and values are being catered to by a given ecosystem service? What is the scope for critical inquiry into the ways in which the environment is imagined, represented and resisted in both geopolitical struggles and everyday life? The book provides insights to both academics from diverse disciplines and policy makers, civil society actors interested in mutual exchange of knowledge between China and India. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U210061 aDong, Shikui.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBandyopadhyay, Jayanta.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aChaturvedi, Sanjay.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331944035408iPrinted edition:z978331944036108iPrinted edition:z978331982966140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44037-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03667nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245009900255250001800354264007500372300006500447336002600512337002600538338003600564347002400600490008100624505055800705520079301263650003802056650003002094650003002124650002102154650012102175650012602296650011002422650009202532700008002624700007702704710003402781773002002815776003602835776003602871776003602907830008102943856004603024912001403070950005303084978-3-319-51835-0DE-He21320191028231817.0cr nn 008mamaa170404s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195183509978-3-319-51835-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-51835-02doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aChoosing a Map Projectionh[electronic resource] /cedited by Miljenko Lapaine, E.

It also discusses the distortions that are immanent in any map projection. A well-chosen map projection is one in which extreme distortions are smaller than those in any other projection used to map the same area and in which the map properties match its purpose. Written by leading experts in the field, including W. Tobler, F.C. Kessler, S.E. Battersby, M.P. Finn, K.C. Clarke, V.S. Tikunov, H. Hargitai, B. Jenny and N. Frančula. This book is designed for use by laymen. The book editors are M. Lapaine and E.L.

After offering a brief overview of the region’s geologic and tectonic history, as well as its basic climatology, subsequent chapters then discuss each island’s (or island set’s) geomorphology and geology, and how the settlement history, tourism, and hazards have affected their individual landscapes. Written by regional experts and replete with up-to-date information, stunning color imagery, and beautiful cartography (maps), it is the only comprehensive, scientific evaluation of the Lesser Antilles, and serves as the region’s definitive reference resource. Accessible to non-experts and amateur explorers, the book includes in-depth discussions and reference sections for each island/island set. Usable as both a textbook and guidebook, it offers readers a straightforward yet detailed assessment of an interesting and intriguing – but often-overlooked and under-appreciated – locale. 0aGeomorphology. 0aGeology.14aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170021 aAllen, Casey D.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955785408iPrinted edition:z978331955786108iPrinted edition:z9783319857473 0aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,x2213-209040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55787-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06256nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236245015500248250001800403264007500421300006500496336002600561337002600587338003600613347002400649505216800673520145202841650002804293650002304321650001504344650002304359650002004382650002004402650001504422650011404437650009204551650010204643650011404745650009104859650009504950700007805045700007605123700007605199700007405275700007805349710003405427773002005461776003605481776003605517856004605553912001405599950005305613978-3-319-57946-7DE-He21320191024111115.0cr nn 008mamaa170712s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195794679978-3-319-57946-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-57946-72doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a62822310aEcosystem Services of Headwater Catchmentsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Josef Křeček, Martin Haigh, Thomas Hofer, Eero Kubin, Catrin Promper.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 308 p. 90 illus., 17 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart I: Headwater Environment and Natural Resources -- 1.

It presents 24 papers selected from contributions to recent meetings of the European Forestry Commission Working Party on the Management of Mountain Watersheds, which is coordinated by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Through its biennial sessions and inter-session activities, the Working Party focuses on the continuous exchange of knowledge and experience between professionals in Europe and other regions of the world confronted with similar issues.   The contributions have been updated and peer-reviewed, and the interdisciplinary team of authors includes experts from the fields of geography, hydrology, chemistry, biology, forestry, ecology and socio-economics. The participatory management of headwater catchments in Europe, Africa, America and Asia was the central theme of the articles, which were divided into four sessions: (1) Headwater Environment and Natural Resources, (2) Enhancing Environmental Services in Headwaters, (3) Environmental Services in the Changing World, and (4) New Challenges for Environmental Education and Active Citizenship. The practical applications shown in the book address the multi-resource concept.   The book offers a unique and valuable resource for environmentalists, engineers, watershed planners and policymakers alike. . 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aNatural disasters. 0aHydrology. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aClimate change. 0aPollution.14aEnvironmental Science and

Flynn and Wen-Yu Wu -- APPENDIX Log of Surface Collections and Initial Screening Results for Microvertebrate Localities of Yushe Basin -- .  aThis volume focuses on small mammal fossils from extinct Asian faunas of about 1 to 7 million years ago in North China. These played a role in the emergence of vertebrate paleontology as a modern science in that country. This second volume of the sub-series Late Cenozoic Yushe Basin, Shanxi Province, China: Geology and Fossil Mammals in the Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology book series deals with a rich microfauna fossil record; megafauna follow in subsequent volumes. This research on Yushe Basin fossils provides a view of changes in northeast Asian terrestrial faunas during the Late Neogene, and therefore is a key to the biochronology for a vast part of the continent. The faunas recovered by the multinational team working in this region represent changes in small mammal communities of the Yushe Basin, revealed on a finer time scale that has not been achieved previously. Detailed systematic studies on small mammal groups proceeded under the care of specialists are outlined in the chapters of this volume. Paleontologists, ecologists and evolutionary biologists will find this book appealing. 0aPaleontology . 0aGeology. 0aVertebrates. 0aAnimal systematics. 0aAnimal taxonomy. 0aEvolutionary biology. 0aBiodiversity.14aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aVertebrates.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2507424aAnimal Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2504X24aEvolutionary Biology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2100124aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190311 aJ.

Research presented here focuses on three different agro-climatic areas of West Bengal, namely the coastal Sundarban, the drought-prone region and the mountainous region. Readers will discover the main climate induced vulnerabilities that affect livelihoods of forest communities, understand how to evaluate the expected impacts of climate change at different levels under different climate change scenarios, and be able to assess and measure the implied major social, environmental and economic impacts. Particular attention is also given to the role of the Indian governmental policy (including national forest policy of 1988) to reduce climate-related vulnerabilities. Chapters also highlight two main approaches to vulnerability assessment in socio-ecological systems. The first is the impact-based approach, which assesses the potential impacts of climate change on forest dependent people. The second is the vulnerability-based approach, which assesses social sensitivity and adaptive capacity to respond to stresses. Development practitioners, government implementing agencies, and researchers in environmental science and policy will find this book appealing. . 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aForestry management. 0aAgricultural economics. 0aEnvironmental sociology.14aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aForestry Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2201624aAgricultural Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4700024aEnvironmental Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X221602 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952324808iPrinted edition:z9783319523262 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52325-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04177nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238100007700253245011200330250001800442264009800460300004500558336002600603337002600629338003600655347002400691505056300715520153201278650002502810650002602835650002002861650004102881650002302922650002602945650009602971650009703067650009103164650010103255650011203356710003403468773002003502776003603522856004603558912001403604950005303618978-1-61091-797-1DE-He21320191026081229.0cr nn 008mamaa181102s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109179719978-1-61091-797-17 a10.5822/978-1-61091-797-12doi 4aQH75-77 7aRNK2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRNK2thema04a333.722231 aNielsen, Larry.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aNature's Alliesh[electronic resource] :bEight Conservationists Who Changed Our World /cby Larry Nielsen.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aXIII, 255 p. 44 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aAcknowledgments -- Foreword \ Curt Meine -- Introduction -- Chapter 1: John Muir, Earth-Citizen, Universe -- Chapter 2: Ding Darling, The Best Friend a Duck Ever Had -- Chapter 3: Aldo Leopold, “A Very Large and Important Sumpin” -- Chapter 4: Rachel Carson, “The Lady Who Started All This” -- Chapter 5: Chico Mendes, Gandhi of the Amazon -- Chapter 6: Billy Frank, Jr., The Getting-Arrested Guy -- Chapter 7: Wangari Maathai, The Green Crusader -- Chapter 8: Gro Harlem Brundtland, Godmother of Sustainable Development -- About the Author -- Index.  aIt’s easy to feel powerless in the face of big environmental challenges—but we need inspiration more than ever. With political leaders who deny climate change, species that are fighting for their very survival, and the planet’s last places of wilderness growing smaller and smaller, what can a single person do? In Nature’s Allies, Larry Nielsen uses the stories of conservation pioneers to show that through passion and perseverance, we can each be a positive force for change. In eight engaging and diverse biographies—John Muir, Ding Darling, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, Chico Mendes, Billy Frank Jr., Wangari Maathai, and Gro Harlem Brundtland—we meet individuals who have little in common except that they all made a lasting mark on our world. Some famous and some little known to readers, they spoke out to protect wilderness, wildlife, fisheries, rainforests, and wetlands. They fought for social justice and exposed polluting practices. They marched, wrote books, testified before Congress, performed acts of civil disobedience, and, in one case, were martyred for their defense of nature. Nature’s Allies pays tribute to them all as it rallies a new generation of conservationists to follow in their footsteps. These vivid biographies are essential reading for anyone who wants to fight for the environment against today’s political opposition. Nature’s Allies will inspire students, conservationists, and nature lovers to speak up for nature and show the power of one person to make a difference. . 0aNature conservation. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental sciences—Philosophy. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aEnvironmental Philosophy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3700024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U160022 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978164283007140uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-797-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03874nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242100008000254245013600334250001800470264007500488300006600563336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717490007200741505050800813520108201321650002302403650002002426650001602446650001802462650002602480650009202506650010602598650009502704650008902799650009702888710003402985773002003019776003603039776003603075776003603111830007203147856004603219912001403265950005303279978-3-319-39034-5DE-He21320191029042235.0cr nn 008mamaa161014s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193903459978-3-319-39034-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-39034-52doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a5512231 aParker, Amy Laura.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aInSAR Observations of Ground Deformationh[electronic resource] :bApplication to the Cascades Volcanic Arc /cby Amy Laura Parker.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 165 p. 42 illus., 15 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-50530 aIntroduction -- Investigating long-term subsidence at Medicine Lake Volcano, CA, using multitemporal InSAR -- Systematic assessment of atmospheric uncertainties for InSAR data at volcanic arcs using large-scale atmospheric models: application to the Cascade volcanoes -- Time constraints on magma intrusion from thermal models of long-term volcanic subsidence: Medicine Lake Volcano, CA -- Constraining mechanisms of volcanic subsidence at Lassen Volcanic Center, CA, using InSAR -- Summary and outlook.  aThis doctoral thesis applies measurements of ground deformation from satellite radar using their potential to play a key role in understanding volcanic and magmatic processes throughout the eruption cycle. However, making these measurements is often problematic, and the processes driving ground deformation are commonly poorly understood. These problems are approached in this thesis in the context of the Cascades Volcanic Arc. From a technical perspective, the thesis develops a new way of using regional-scale weather models to assess a priori the influence of atmospheric uncertainties on satellite measurements of volcano deformation, providing key parameters for volcano monitoring. Next, it presents detailed geodetic studies of two volcanoes in northern California: Medicine Lake Volcano and Lassen Volcanic Centre. Finally, the thesis combines geodetic constraints with petrological inputs to develop a thermal model of cooling magma intrusions. The novelty and range of topics covered in this thesis mean that it is a seminal work in volcanic and magmatic studies. . 0aNatural disasters. 0aRemote sensing. 0aGeophysics. 0aGeochemistry. 0aAtmospheric sciences.14aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G360002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331939033808iPrinted edition:z978331939035208iPrinted edition:z9783319817996 0aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-505340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-39034-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04791nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236100008000251245018400331250001800515264007500533300006200608336002600670337002600696338003600722347002400758490003800782505056700820520169301387650002103080650002903101650002403130650002903154650002203183650002303205650002903228650013603257650010003393650009503493650010003588650011203688650010003800710003403900773002003934776003603954776003603990776003604026830003804062856004604100912001404146950005304160978-3-319-54448-9DE-He21320191022082157.0cr nn 008mamaa170225s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195444899978-3-319-54448-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-54448-92doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.762231 aDierwechter, Yonn.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUrban Sustainability through Smart Growthh[electronic resource] :bIntercurrence, Planning, and Geographies of Regional Development across Greater Seattle /cby Yonn Dierwechter.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 226 p. 42 illus., 5 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X0 aChapter 1 Introduction: Problem, Argument, Themes -- Chapter 2 Review: Geopolitical Economies of Planning Space -- Chapter 3 Theory: A City-Regional Geography of Multiple Orders -- Chapter 4 Methodology: Mixed-Methods Research Design -- Chapter 5 History: An (Un)Sustainable Geo-History of Intercurrence -- Chapter 6 Plans: Policy Geographies of Sustainable Growth -- Chapter 7 Home: Residential Geographies of Contained (Re)Ordering -- Chapter 8 Work: Labor Geographies of Smart(Er) Mobility -- Chapter 9 General Conclusions: Contributions, Limitations, Agenda.  aThis book investigates the new urban geographies of “smart” metropolitan regionalism across the Greater Seattle area and examines the relationship between smart growth planning strategies and spaces of work, home, and mobility. The book specifically explores Seattle within the wider space-economy and multi-scaled policy regime of the Puget Sound region as a whole, ‘jumping up’ from questions of city politics to concerns with what the book interprets as the “intercurrence” of city-regional “ordering." These theoretical terms capture the state-progressive effort to promote smarter forms of regional development but also the societal/institutional tensions and outright contradictions that such urban development invariably entails, particularly around problems of social equity. Key organizing themes in the text include: the historical path-dependencies of uneven economic and social development, particularly between Tacoma-Pierce County and Seattle-King County; current patterns of high-wage, medium-wage, and low-wage jobs; the emerging spatial and social structure of recent residential changes, especially with respect to class and race composition; and, finally, transit trends and new urban spaces associated with policy efforts to mitigate highway congestion and car-dependency. Greater Seattle, then, is mapped as a key US urban region inscribed spatially by the uneven search for a more sustainable order. Historically-sensitive, theoretically-informed and empirically topical, this book is of interest to scholars and students at all levels in regional planning, urban geography, political science, sustainability studies, urban sociology and public policy. 0aUrban geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic geography. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aSocial structure. 0aSocial inequality. 0aEnvironmental economics.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aSocial Structure, Social Inequality.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2201024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954447208iPrinted edition:z978331954449608iPrinted edition:z9783319853956 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54448-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04442nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245013400255250001800389264007500407300005700482336002600539337002600565338003600591347002400627490003500651505026700686520157100953650003802524650002302562650002202585650003102607650001602638650002702654650001802681650003102699650002002730650012102750650011202871650009502983650011403078650012203192650009103314700007903405700008203484710003403566773002003600776003603620776003603656830003503692856004603727912001403773950005303787978-3-319-42928-1DE-He21320191025231706.0cr nn 008mamaa170616s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194292819978-3-319-42928-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-42928-12doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aSpringer Handbook of Global Navigation Satellite Systemsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Peter Teunissen, Oliver Montenbruck.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXI, 1327 p. 818 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Handbooks,x2522-86920 aPart A GNSS Fundamentals -- Part B Satellite Navigation Systems -- Part C GNSS Receivers and Antennas -- Part D GNSS Algorithms and Models -- Part E Positioning and Navigation -- Part F Surveying, Geodesy and Geodynamics -- Part G GNSS Remote Sensing and Timing.  aThis Handbook presents a complete and rigorous overview of the fundamentals, methods and applications of the multidisciplinary field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), providing an exhaustive, one-stop reference work and a state-of-the-art description of GNSS as a key technology for science and society at large. All global and regional satellite navigation systems, both those currently in operation and those under development (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS/NAVIC, SBAS), are examined in detail. The functional principles of receivers and antennas, as well as the advanced algorithms and models for GNSS parameter estimation, are rigorously discussed. The book covers the broad and diverse range of land, marine, air and space applications, from everyday GNSS to high-precision scientific applications and provides detailed descriptions of the most widely used GNSS format standards, covering receiver formats as well as IGS product and meta-data formats.The full coverage of the field of GNSS is presented in seven parts, from its fundamentals, through the treatment of global and regional navigation satellite systems, of receivers and antennas, and of algorithms and models, up to the broad and diverse range of applications in the areas of positioning and navigation, surveying, geodesy and geodynamics, and remote sensing and timing. Each chapter is written by international experts and amply illustrated with figures and photographs, making the book an invaluable resource for scientists, engineers, students and institutions alike. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aSignal processing. 0aImage processing. 0aSpeech processing systems. 0aGeophysics. 0aAerospace engineering. 0aAstronautics. 0aSpecial purpose computers. 0aTransportation.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aSignal, Image and Speech Processing.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2405124aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aAerospace Technology and Astronautics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T1705024aSpecial Purpose and Application-Based Systems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1303024aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1190001 aTeunissen, Peter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMontenbruck, Oliver.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942926708iPrinted edition:z9783319429274 0aSpringer Handbooks,x2522-869240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42928-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07320nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001600242245017600258250001800434264007500452300006800527336002600595337002600621338003600647347002400683490004700707505299800754520185503752650001205607650002005619650001805639650001905657650003005676650009305706650009105799650008905890650009005979650012606069700007306195700008506268700007906353710003406432773002006466776003606486776003606522776003606558830004706594856004606641912001406687950005306701978-3-319-49894-2DE-He21320191022102145.0cr nn 008mamaa170522s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194989429978-3-319-49894-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-49894-22doi 4aGB450-460 7aRGBP2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRGBP2thema04a551.45722310aCoastline Changes of the Baltic Sea from South to Easth[electronic resource] :bPast and Future Projection /cedited by Jan Harff, Kazimierz Furmańczyk, Hans von Storch.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 388 p. 151 illus., 126 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aCoastal Research Library,x2211-0577 ;v190 aIntroduction -- Part 1 A Concepts and model approaches -- Chapter 1 What determines the change of coastlines in the Baltic Sea?

These topics are becoming increasingly important for populations living along the edge of the world’s oceans and seas, especially in areas where eustatic sea-level rise is superimposed on isostatic subsidence and storm-induced coastal erosion. This is the case at the southern and eastern Baltic Sea coast: in the south, glacio-isostatic subsidence enhances the effect of climate-induced sea-level rise and strong storm effects are causing a continuous retreat of the coast. On the eastern coast glacio-isostatic uplift compensates for eustatic sea-level rise, but storm-induced waves are responsible for permanent morphodynamic changes to the coastline. There is an increasing need for protection concepts for defense but also for the economic use of the different types of coastal zones. The elaboration of these management concepts can be facilitated through models that generate future projections of coastal developments in the light of modern climate change. This anthology comprises the results of the research project “Coastline Changes of the southern Baltic Sea – Past and future projection (CoPaF)” funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, which was run by a team of Estonian, German, Lithuanian, and Polish geoscientists and coastal engineers from 2010 to 2013 and overlapped with and complemented the work of COST Action SPLASHCOS supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). As the southern and eastern Baltic serves as a natural laboratory for the investigation of coastal processes, the project’s findings contribute not only to the solution of regional problems in Baltic coastal research and engineering, but also to worldwide interests in description, modelling and parameterization of coastal processes and morphodynamics. 0aCoasts. 0aClimate change. 0aOceanography. 0aSedimentology. 0aGeotechnical engineering.14aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1708024aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370101 aHarff, Jan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aFurmańczyk, Kazimierz.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 avon Storch, Hans.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949892808iPrinted edition:z978331949893508iPrinted edition:z9783319842660 0aCoastal Research Library,x2211-0577 ;v1940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49894-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06007nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245015800266250001800424264007500442300006400517336002600581337002600607338003600633347002400669490004000693505258500733520097503318650002904293650002304322650002604345650003104371650002604402650002304428650010004451650011204551650010704663650009704770650009404867700007604961700007705037710003405114773002005148776003605168776003605204776003605240830004005276856004605316912001405362950005305376978-3-319-46150-2DE-He21320191025221715.0cr nn 008mamaa170103s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194615029978-3-319-46150-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-46150-22doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aNorthern Sustainabilities: Understanding and Addressing Change in the Circumpolar Worldh[electronic resource] /cedited by Gail Fondahl, Gary N.

The chapters explore the cultural, economic, political and environmental aspects of sustainability, as well as examples of successful research collaboration with northern and indigenous communities. By examining a wide range of issues and places, the contributions highlight the diversity of the Circumpolar North, the challenges and opportunities it faces, and the ways in which people and communities are adapting to and influencing the changing circumstances of this dynamic region. Contributors include both Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers from eleven different countries and from across the career spectrum. This book will appeal to an academic audience interested in the manifold facets of sustainability in the Arctic and sub-arctic regions of the world. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aCommunity ecology, Biotic. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aCultural heritage.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aCommunity & Population Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1912024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4190001 aFondahl, Gail.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWilson, Gary N.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946148908iPrinted edition:z978331946149608iPrinted edition:z9783319834535 0aSpringer Polar Sciences,x2510-047540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46150-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04903nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256245014800270250001800418264007500436300006600511336002600577337002600603338003600629347002400665505118900689520128101878650001803159650002303177650001703200650002303217650001603240650002903256650002903285650010403314650008803418650009403506650008703600650010003687650010003787700008103887700008203968710003404050773002004084776003604104776003604140776003604176856004604212912001404258950005304272978-3-319-49724-2DE-He21320191023171948.0cr nn 008mamaa170214s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194972429978-3-319-49724-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-49724-22doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.422310aAgro-Environmental Sustainabilityh[electronic resource] :bVolume 1: Managing Crop Health  /cedited by Jay Shankar Singh, Gamini Seneviratne.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 316 p. 22 illus., 13 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aMicrobial Signaling in Plant-Microbe Interactions and Its Role on Sustainability of Agroecosystems -- Exploiting Beneficial Traits of Plant Associated Fluorescent Pseudomonads for Plant Health -- N2-fixing Cyanobacterial Systems as Biofertilizer -- Exploring the Role of Secondary Metabolites of Trichoderma in Tripartite Interaction with Plant and Pathogens -- Managing the Soil Fertility through Microbes: Prospects, Challenges and Future strategies -- Trichoderma: A Potent Fungus as Biological Control Agent -- Bioprospecting of Genes from Microbes for Stress Management in Agricultural Crops -- Improving Soil Fertility and Soil Functioning in Cover Cropped Agro-ecosystems with Symbiotic Microbes -- Actinobacteria in Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability -- Atmospheric Carbon Sequestration through Microalgae: Status, Prospects and Challenges -- BioGro – a Plant Growth-Promoting Bio-Fertiliser Validated by 15 Years’ Research from Laboratory Selection to Rice Farmer’s Fields of the Mekong Delta -- Priming Host Defence Against Biotic Stress by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi -- Role of Phosphate Solubilising Microorganism in Sustainable Agriculture Development.  aThis two-volume work is a testament to the increasing interest in the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and food security. Advances in microbial technologies are explored in chapters dealing with topics such as carbon sequestration, soil fertility management, sustainable crop production, and microbial signaling networks. Volume I is a collection of research findings that invites readers to examine the application of microbes in reinstating degraded ecosystems and also in establishing sustainable croplands. Highly readable entries attempt to close the knowledge gap between soil microbial associations and sustainable agriculture. An increase in the global population with changing climate is leading to environments of various abiotic and biotic stresses for agricultural crops. It therefore becomes important to identify the techniques to improve soil fertility and function using different microbial groups such as actinobacteria, microalgae, fluorescent pseudomonads and cyanobacterial systems. These are examined in this volume in greater detail. This work is a significant contribution to research in this increasingly important discipline, and will appeal to researchers in microbiology, agriculture, environmental sciences, and soil and crop sciences. . 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aAgriculture. 0aMicrobial ecology. 0aEcosystems. 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aSustainable development.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aMicrobial Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1908224aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1500024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aSingh, Jay Shankar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSeneviratne, Gamini.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949723508iPrinted edition:z978331949725908iPrinted edition:z978331984224040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49724-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04024nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245011700250250001800367264007500385300006500460336002600525337002600551338003600577347002400613490005700637505138000694520089902074650001702973650002302990650008803013650009403101700007503195710003403270773002003304776003603324776003603360830005703396856004603453912001403499950005303513978-3-319-46985-0DE-He21320190618081711.0cr nn 008mamaa161214s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194698509978-3-319-46985-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-46985-02doi 4aCC1-960 7aHD2bicssc 7aSOC0030002bisacsh 7aNK2thema04a930.122310aSea Ports and Sea Powerh[electronic resource] :bAfrican Maritime Cultural Landscapes /cedited by Lynn Harris.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 119 p. 22 illus., 19 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Underwater Archaeology,x2625-25620 aIntroduction: Maritime Landscapes as an African Approach to Archaeology -- Chapter 1: When did the Swahili Become Maritime?

While the concept of a maritime landscape is very broad, a more focused thematic strategy draws together a number of case studies in South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, and Nigeria with a common thread. Specifically, the contributors address the sub-theme of sea ports and sea power as part of understanding the African maritime landscape. Sea ports and surrounds are dynamic centers of maritime culture supporting a rich diversity of cultural groups and economic activities. Strategic locations along the African coastline have associations with indigenous maritime communities and trade centers, colonial power struggles and skirmishes, establishment of naval bases and operations, and World War I and II engagements. 0aArchaeology. 0aCultural heritage.14aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4190001 aHarris, Lynn.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946984308iPrinted edition:z9783319469867 0aSpringerBriefs in Underwater Archaeology,x2625-256240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46985-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03186nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001600242245015600258250001800414264007500432300006800507336002600575337002600601338003600627347002400663490004600687505045700733520038901190650001201579650001801591650002601609650002301635650002801658650009301686650008901779650009701868650009201965650009802057700007802155700007802233710003402311773002002345776003602365776003602401776003602437830004602473856004602519912001402565950005302579978-3-319-45229-6DE-He21320191028121057.0cr nn 008mamaa170131s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194522969978-3-319-45229-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-45229-62doi 4aGB450-460 7aRGBP2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRGBP2thema04a551.45722310aMarine Fog: Challenges and Advancements in Observations, Modeling, and Forecastingh[electronic resource] /cedited by Darko Koračin, Clive E.

Peanut -- Chapter6. Chickpea -- Chapter7. Lentil -- Chapter8. Maize -- Chapter9. Sorghum -- Chapter10. Pearl Millet -- Chapter11. Wheat.  aThis volume explores specific approaches that have shown to result in crop yield increases. Research on the physiological understanding of these methods has led to the development of practical applications of plant breeding approaches to genetically improve crops to achieve higher yields. Authoritative entries from crop scientists shed new light on two water-conservation traits: one that is based on an initiation of the decrease in transpiration earlier in the soil drying cycle, and the second that is based on a sensitivity of transpiration rate under high atmospheric vapor pressure deficit that results in partial stomatal closure. Both these approaches involve partial stomatal closure under well-defined situations to decrease the rate of soil water loss. Readers will be able to analyze the circumstances under which a benefit is achieved as a result of the water-limitation trait; and key discussion points in the case studies presented will help answer questions such as what species, which environments, how often will yield be benefited for various crop species? Contributions also review the genetic variation for these two traits within each crop species and the physiological basis for the expression of these traits. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aHydrology. 0aPlant science. 0aBotany. 0aAgriculture. 0aCell physiology. 0aEnvironmental management.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aPlant Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2400024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aCell Physiology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L3301024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aSinclair, Thomas R.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956320608iPrinted edition:z9783319563220 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56321-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03928nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245017800266250001800444264007500462300006600537336002600603337002600629338003600655347002400691490004400715505042100759520126901180650002902449650002102478650003002499650010002529650009202629650010102721700008102822700009302903700008302996710003403079773002003113776003603133776003603169776003603205830004403241856004603285912001403331950005303345978-3-319-45081-0DE-He21320190703192738.0cr nn 008mamaa160927s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194508109978-3-319-45081-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-45081-02doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aSustainable Economic Developmenth[electronic resource] :bGreen Economy and Green Growth /cedited by Walter Leal Filho, Diana-Mihaela Pociovalisteanu, Abul Quasem Al-Amin.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 331 p. 45 illus., 28 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aWorld Sustainability Series,x2199-73730 aIndustrial Symbiosis – An Innovative Tool for Promoting Green Growth -- Socio Economy Impact in Relation to Waste Prevention -- Ways of Fostering Green Economy and Green Growth -- The Relevance of Cultural Diversity in Ethical and Green Finance -- Green Agriculture in Hungary – The Factors of Competitiveness in Organic arming -- Why Sustainable Consumption is Not in Practice?

It traces the history of the ozone hole from the stage of formation of the stratospheric ozone ‘layer’, millions of years ago, into the late 20th century when the anthropogenic destruction of that ozone was discovered. The chapters are written to bring the the reader up to the present day. Factors that influence stratospheric ozone are discussed and the ways to halt ozone depletion are cataloged. And more complex interrelationships are being discovered between ozone depletion and two other global concerns: climate change and ocean acidification. This book sheds light on the intricacy of the situation and its portants. The book will be useful to students and researchers looking for a current overview of the ozone hole problem. 0aClimate change. 0aClimatology.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimatology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3110001 aAbbasi, Tasneem.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978149396708708iPrinted edition:z9781493967094 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-6710-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05985nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245019200251250001800443264007500461300006800536336002600604337002600630338003600656347002400692490003500716505273700751520071503488650002104203650002004224650002104244650002904265650001704294650013604311650009104447650011104538650010004649650011204749700009204861700007904953700007705032710003405109773002005143776003605163776003605199776003605235830003505271856004605306912001405352950005305366978-3-319-40902-3DE-He21320191022082154.0cr nn 008mamaa161007s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194090239978-3-319-40902-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-40902-32doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aSeeing Cities Through Big Datah[electronic resource] :bResearch, Methods and Applications in Urban Informatics /cedited by Piyushimita (Vonu) Thakuriah, Nebiyou Tilahun, Moira Zellner.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 559 p. 139 illus., 122 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction to Seeing Cities Through Big Data – Research, Methods, and Applications in Urban Informatics -- Big Data and Urban Informatics: Innovations and Challenges to Urban Planning and Knowledge Discovery -- Analytics of user-generated content -- Using User-Generated Content to Understand Cities -- Developing an Interactive Mobile Volunteered Geographic Information Platform to Integrate Environmental Big Data and Citizen Science in Urban Management -- CyberGIS-enabled Urban Sensing from Volunteered Citizen Participation Using Mobile Devices -- Challenges and opportunities of urban Big Data -- The Potential for Big Data to Improve Neighborhood-Level Census Data -- Big Data and Survey Research: Supplement or Substitute?

Summary and limitations of recommendations.  aThis volume provides a comprehensive method for optimizing solid waste management practices and procedures at college and university campuses through the use of cluster analysis to combine Life Cycle Assessment and Analytical Hierarchy Process. Author Pezhman Taherei uses Malaysia’s University of Malaya as a case study and model, and through this method was able to assess which combination of waste disposal, management, and recycling techniques generate the least environmental impact while retaining the maximum cost savings for the university. A method for analysis of solid waste composition is also proposed. Higher education institutes generate thousands of tons of solid waste per year. Comprehensive solid waste management programs, which take integrated solid waste management systems into consideration, are one of the greatest challenges to achieving campus sustainability. This system can serve as a guide and blueprint for other universities that are taking steps toward sustainability through improved solid waste management. . 0aWaste management. 0aIndustrial

Province -- The Roman Province -- The Ernici-Roccamonfina Province -- The Pontine Islands.  aThis is an updated edition of the book by the same author: "Plio-Quaternary volcanism in Italy - Petrology, geochemistry, geodynamics," published in 2005 by Springer. This edition has the same structure as the previous publication, with a general introduction; various chapters dedicated to different volcanic provinces in Italy; and a final chapter on the relationships between magmatism and geodynamics. It includes information that has become available in the last ten years, and new chapters have been added offering detailed discussions of the Oligo-Miocene orogenic volcanism on Sardinia and of some small outcrops of fragmented volcanic rocks occurring in several places of the Apennines. This new edition now covers the entire Tyrrhenian Sea magmatism of the last 40 Ma. Lastly, it includes two appendices: Appendix 1 reports on a comparison between the Tyrrhenian Sea volcanism and the partially coeval magmatism along the Alps and adjoining areas and has the objective of highlighting similarities and difference that can tell us much on geodynamics and magmatism between the converging plates of Europe and Africa. Appendix 2 s an update of the 2005 edition appendix and deals with classification of orogenic rocks with special emphasis on potassic alkaline volcanics. 0aGeochemistry. 0aGeology. 0aNatural disasters.14aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G320002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942489708iPrinted edition:z978331942490308iPrinted edition:z9783319825908 0aAdvances in Volcanology,x2364-327740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42491-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05708nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245010000266250001800366264007500384300006300459336002600522337002600548338003600574347002400610505111800634520210901752650002903861650003203890650002003922650003003942650002303972650002003995650001904015650010004034650010304134650011304237650010104350650011404451650013304565700008004698700007704778710003404855773002004889776003604909776003604945776003604981856004605017912001405063950005305077978-3-319-49730-3DE-He21320191022023559.0cr nn 008mamaa170310s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194973039978-3-319-49730-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-49730-32doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aCreating Low Carbon Citiesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Shobhakar Dhakal, Matthias Ruth.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 205 p. 34 illus., 28 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter1.

Eco-Districts as a transition pathway to low-carbon cities.  aThis book addresses key topics in the current deliberations and debates on low carbon cities that are underway globally. Contributions by experts from around the world focus on the key factors required for creating low carbon cities. These include appropriate infrastructure, ensuring co-benefits of climate actions, making best use of knowledge and information, proper accounting of emissions, and social factors such as behavioral change. Readers will gain a better understanding of these drivers and explore potential transformation pathways for cities. Particular emphasis is given to the current situation of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the urban level, stressing the complexity of measuring GHG emissions from cities. Chapters also shed new light on the long-term transformation pathways towards low carbon. This book discusses key challenges and opportunities in all these domains to aid in creating low carbon cities, making it of value to policy makers, researchers in academia and consultants working on climate change and energy issues. “The low carbon cities agenda is of bold ambition and demands rapid societal transformation. This book provides invaluable information and analysis on how the goals of this agenda can be achieved and what will be the significant obstacles in the way. The content in the book goes below the surface to reveal on-the-ground economic, engineering and equity issues that are at the heart of the Paris Climate Agreement and the ensuing policy debates. In this way, Creating Low Carbon Cities serves as a critical scholarly benchmark and as a toolkit for further action." William Solecki, Professor, Institute for Sustainable Cities, City University of New York "Creating Low Carbon Cities provides a refreshingly critical approach to low-carbon urban development, what has been achieved so far and the challenges ahead. It will be an important data-driven resource for local leaders, sustainability practitioners and urban planners.” Ms. Monika Zimmermann, Deputy Secretary General, ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability. 0aSustainable development. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aAir pollution.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U350101 aDhakal, Shobhakar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRuth, Matthias.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949729708iPrinted edition:z978331949731008iPrinted edition:z978331984226440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49730-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05646nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050002000172050001400192072001600206072002300222072001500245082001400260245019100274250001800465264007500483300006300558336002600621337002600647338003600673347002400709490008000733505047500813520254901288650001803837650001603855650001903871650002203890650002003912650011203932650008704044650011604131650011304247700007804360700007504438700007504513700007604588700008504664710003404749773002004783776003604803776003604839830008004875856004604955912001405001950005305015978-3-319-45035-3DE-He21320191022102705.0cr nn 008mamaa161209s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194503539978-3-319-45035-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-45035-32doi 4aTJ163.13-163.25 4aTP315-360 7aTHF2bicssc 7aTEC0310302bisacsh 7aTHF2thema04a662.622310aCarbon Management, Technologies, and Trends in Mediterranean Ecosystemsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Sabit Erşahin, Selim Kapur, Erhan Akça, Ayten Namlı, Hakkı Emrah Erdoğan.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 158 p. 58 illus., 41 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v150 aIntroduction -- Soil Carbon Impacts on Functionality and Environmental Sustainability -- New World Atlas of Desertification and Issues of Carbon Sequestration, Organic Carbon Stocks, Nutrient Depletion and Implications for Food Security -- Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Dynamics as Influenced by Land Use and Climate -- EU Emissions Trading Scheme Application in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania from 2008 to 2012 -- Indigenous Egyptian Nubians and Climate Change Mitigation.  aThis book is unique covering both ecologic and socio-economic aspects of carbon manage¬ment in Mediterranean ecosystems. The chapters were originally presented at the 1st Istanbul Carbon Summit that was held at Istanbul Technical University, 2-4 April 2014 and subsequently revised after a peer review process. The summit focused on carbon manage¬ment, carbon technologies, and carbon trends. This book includes chapters on economic aspects of carbon management and on ecological aspects of the carbon cycle. The chapters on economic aspects analyze carbon trade and its institutional, political, and legislative structures in different Mediterranean nations, while those on ecological aspects review the discus¬sion and analysis of the related ecological factors and their feedbacks due to governance processes.

These marine beds occur worldwide, from the tropics to the poles, ranging in depth from intertidal to deep subtidal habitats and they are also represented in extensive fossil deposits. In the light of international interest in rhodoliths and maerl concerning their role in coastal ecosystems and with respect to biodiversity, fisheries, and the production of sediment, this book provides the most comprehensive view possible. As readers will discover, rhodoliths/maerl are fundamental to a range of ecological processes, acting as ecosystem engineers including playing key roles in recruitment and providing nursery habitats. Rhodoliths/maerl have been used commercially in some parts of the world, and they are understood to be vulnerable to coastal modifications and human-induced change, and hence their status may serve as an indicator of ecosystem health. Rhodoliths/maerl contribute to global carbon budgets although the extent remains to be evaluated, as do the potential impacts of changing global climates and ocean acidification. 0aCoasts. 0aGeomorphology. 0aGeobiology. 0aBiodiversity. 0aClimate change. 0aAquatic ecology .14aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aBiogeosciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3501024aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1903124aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190661 aRiosmena-Rodríguez, Rafael.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aNelson, Wendy.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAguirre, Julio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331929313408iPrinted edition:z978331929314108iPrinted edition:z9783319805399 0aCoastal Research Library,x2211-0577 ;v1540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-29315-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03334nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001400238100007900252245009400331250001800425264007500443300006400518336002600582337002600608338003600634347002400670505059800694520055601292650002601848650003301874650002101907650001501928650001501943650002001958650001501978650011801993650010602111650011302217650009102330650009602421710003402517773002002551776003602571776003602607776003602643856004602679912001402725950005302739978-3-319-42671-6DE-He21320191023232033.0cr nn 008mamaa160827s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194267169978-3-319-42671-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-42671-62doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNQ2thema04a363.72231 aDomenech, Haydee.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aRadiation Safetyh[electronic resource] :bManagement and Programs /cby Haydee Domenech.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 332 p. 85 illus., 64 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aWhat Does Ionizing Radiation Mean? -- Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation -- Radiation Sources: Benefits and Risks -- Basic Quantities and Units in Radiation Safety -- Measuring Instruments and Methods -- Dose Assessment -- Shielding -- Exposure Situations -- Regulations and Regulatory Control -- The Management System for Safety -- General Principles of Radiation Protection -- Occupational Radiation Protection -- Public Radiation Protection -- Radioactive Waste Management -- Transport of Radioactive Materials -- Emergency Exposure Situations -- Radiation Protection Program Details.  aThis book discusses important fundamentals of radiation safety with specific details on dose units, calculations, measuring, and biological effects of ionizing radiation.

The Golden Circle offers a unique opportunity to observe and understand many of our planet’s forces in action. These forces move the Earth’s tectonic plates, rupture the crust, and generate earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, channels for rivers and waterfalls, and heat sources for hot springs and geysers. The Golden Circle includes the famous rifting and earthquake fracture sites at Thingvellir, the hot springs of the Geysir area, the waterfall of Gullfoss, and the Kerid volcanic crater. As the book is primarily intended for people with no background in geosciences, no geological knowledge is assumed and technical terms are avoided as far as possible (those used are explained in a glossary). With more than 240 illustrations – mostly photographs – explaining geological structures and processes, it is also a useful resource for geoscientists. . 0aEarth. 0aGeology. 0aStructural geology. 0aGeophysics.14aPopular Earth Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q2200024aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1704024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955151708iPrinted edition:z9783319551531 0aGeoGuide,x2364-649740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55152-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05028nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245016000268250001800428264007500446300004200521336002600563337002600589338003600615347002400651490006900675505294700744520034703691650001604038650009504054700007704149710003404226773002004260776003604280776003604316776003604352830006904388856004604457912001404503950005304517978-3-319-45629-4DE-He21320191027231632.0cr nn 008mamaa170412s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194562949978-3-319-45629-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-45629-42doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aREFAG 2014h[electronic resource] :bProceedings of the IAG Commission 1 Symposium Kirchberg, Luxembourg, 13–17 October, 2014 /cedited by Tonie van Dam.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 246 p. 6 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aInternational Association of Geodesy Symposia,x0939-9585 ;v1460 aPart 1 - Theory and Concepts -- The Helmert transformation approach in network densification revisited -- A study of the role of the choice of reference system in the analysis of GNSS coordinate time series -- Validation of components of local ties -- Part 2 - Geodetic Measurement Techniques -- Combination of space-geodetic techniques on the observation level with c5++ - common nuisance parameters, data weighting and computational challenges -- The Processing of Single Differenced GNSS Data with VLBI Software -- IVS contribution to ITRF2014 -- Antenna axis offsets and their impact on VLBI derived reference frames -- Scheduling VLBI observations to satellites with VieVS -- Refined Tropospheric Delay Models for CONT11 -- Loading-induced deformation due to atmosphere, ocean and hydrology: Model comparisons and the impact on global SLR, VLBI and GNSS solutions -- The International Mass Loading Service -- Pre-combined GNSS-SLR Solutions: What could be the benefit for the ITRF? -- GGOS-SIM - Simulation of the Reference Frame for the Global Geodetic Observing System -- Overview of the ILRS contribution to the development of ITRF2013 -- Part 3 - Regional Reference Frames -- A Spatial Analysis of Global Navigation Satellite Systems Stations within the context of the African Geodetic Reference Frame -- The development of a station coordinate prediction program to model time series from Continuous GPS stations in New Zealand -- Results from the regional AUSTRAL VLBI sessions for southern hemisphere reference frames -- Implementation of the ETRS89 in Europe: Current Status and Challenges -- Defining a Local Reference Frame using a Plate Motion Model and Deformation Model -- A Development of the Russian Geodetic Reference Network -- Weighted vs. unweighted MCs for the datum definition in regional networks -- Is Nubia plate rigid?

ANSDIMAT software -- Appendices -- Index.  aThis book, designed as a handbook, provides a systematic treatment of analytical solutions describing groundwater flow during aquifer tests. The book integrates the majority of known solutions from well hydraulics and subsurface flow theory, starting with pioneering work from the early 20th century up to the most recent publications in scientific journals. The book includes about 300 transient solutions covering a wide range of aquifer test scenarios and hydrogeological conditions. All the solutions have been thoroughly tested and implemented in the multifunctional ANSDIMAT software. The book comprises three parts and is supplemented by appendices. The first part of the book is dedicated to basic analytical relationships referring to pumping tests with constant discharge rate. Conceptual models describe confined, unconfined, confined–unconfined, inhomogeneous, and fracture-porous aquifers, as well as leaky aquifers and multi-layer aquifer systems. Complicating factors such as flow boundaries, aquifer anisotropy, non-uniform aquifer thickness, partial well penetration, wellbore storage and skin, the effect of capillary forces are also considered. The second part focuses on complex pumping test settings and well system configurations. Analytical solutions are presented for pumping from a horizontal or inclined well, constant-head tests, multi-well variable-discharge tests, simultaneous pumping from adjacent aquifers and dipole flow tests. Detailed descriptions are given for slug and recovery tests. The third part of the book contains algorithms for evaluating hydraulic characteristics using analytical and graphical methods, and is supplemented by the ANSDIMAT tool. This software includes solutions for some practical engineering-hydrogeological problems, in particular, the assessment of aquifer characteristics by data on groundwater level monitoring and the evaluation of water inflow into open pits. The book is supplemented with appendices in which hydrogeologists can find a vast body of useful information including mathematical descriptions of the majority of analytical functions used in the book, their plots and possible approximations. Audience: The book is useful for hydrogeologists (students, engineers and researchers) engaged in groundwater flow studies, aquifer test analysis, environmental geologists and civil engineers. Experts in water flow numerical modeling and programmers developing software for aquifer tests will find valuable information in this book, which can also be used for educational and research purposes. 0aHydrogeology. 0aHydrology. 0aEnvironmental monitoring.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943408708iPrinted edition:z978331943410008iPrinted edition:z978331982816940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43409-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02982nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256100008000270245009600350250001800446264007500464300006700539336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694490004000718505027100758520064001029650001801669650002301687650002401710650010401734650009501838650013401933700008202067710003402149773002002183776003602203776003602239776003602275830004002311856004602351912001402397950005302411978-3-319-52144-2DE-He21320191024203103.0cr nn 008mamaa170225s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195214429978-3-319-52144-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-52144-22doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.42231 aBockheim, James G.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Soils of Wisconsinh[electronic resource] /cby James G.

From its source in the Baramura Hills, the river debouches onto the rolling plains of Chandrasadhubari. Thousands of people between Chandrasadhubari and the boundary of Bangladesh have settled along the riverbanks and are directly dependent on the river. Since the 1970s the ever-growing population of the Haora River basin has been exerting tremendous pressure on the river. Several anthropogenic activities affect the river, increasing sedimentation and pollution, and are leading the Haora River toward its dying phase. This book presents the problems related to the overall health of the Haora River and discusses some proposals for restoring the ecological balance and geo-political stability of this strategically important part of the country. 0aPhysical geography. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHydrology. 0aHuman geography.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G350001 aDe, Sunil Kumar.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941017308iPrinted edition:z978331941019708iPrinted edition:z9783319822426 0aAdvances in Asian Human-Environmental Research,x1879-718040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41018-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03920nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245015500251250001800406264007500424300006500499336002600564337002600590338003600616347002400652490005500676505086400731520068201595650002102277650002602298650004502324650002102369650003402390650013602424650009702560650010002657650009202757650010602849700009302955710003403048773002003082776003603102776003603138776003603174830005503210856004603265912001403311950005303325978-3-319-51899-2DE-He21320191022033002.0cr nn 008mamaa170418s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195189929978-3-319-51899-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-51899-22doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aUrban Transformations in Rio de Janeiroh[electronic resource] :bDevelopment, Segregation, and Governance /cedited by Luiz Cesar de Queiroz Ribeiro.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 319 p. 47 illus., 21 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,x2366-34210 aPart I: Territory, Economy and Society -- Production Transformations -- Spatial Transformations -- Social Transformations -- Demographic Transformations -- Family Transformations -- Part II: Segregation and Inequalities -- Segregation and Population Displacement -- Segregation and Real Estate Production -- Segregation and Occupational Inequalities -- Segregation and Educational Inequalities -- Segregation and “Racial” Inequalities -- Part III: Citizenship, Public Policy and Metropolitan Governance -- The Favela in the City-Commodity: Deconstruction of a Social Question -- Political Culture, Citizenship and the Representation of the Urbs without Civitas: The Metropolis of Rio de Janeiro -- Local Democracy and Metropolitan Governance -- Entrepreneurial Governance: Neoliberal Modernization.-Transport Management: The Renovation of the Road Pact. .  aThis book provides an overview of urban transformations taking place in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the last three decades.

After an initial overview of the different coral islands, subsequent chapters explain key geophysical, hydrogeological and hydrochemical methods for the assessment and characterization of coral island aquifers. The book’s closing chapters highlight selected case studies and describe actual implementations of the methods discussed. In addition to presenting the details of data collection on each island – a valuable resource for any future study on these islands – in graphical form, the book proposes suitable measures for ensuring the sustainability of groundwater resources on the islands. Accordingly, it offers a unique and essential source of information for all hydrogeologists whose work involves island aquifers. . 0aHydrogeology. 0aHydrology. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aEnvironmental management.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2150002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950072008iPrinted edition:z9783319500744 0aSpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,x2194-724440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50073-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04805nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100007300266245011400339250001800453264007500471300006500546336002600611337002600637338003600663347002400699490004400723505048300767520207001250650002903320650002403349650002303373650002603396650001803422650001803440650010003458650009503558650009203653650009703745650012603842710003403968773002004002776003604022776003604058830004404094856004604138912001404184950005304198978-3-319-52685-0DE-He21320191024152108.0cr nn 008mamaa170522s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195268509978-3-319-52685-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-52685-02doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aTian, Qing.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aRural Sustainabilityh[electronic resource] :bA Complex Systems Approach to Policy Analysis /cby Qing Tian.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 150 p. 40 illus., 28 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-41650 aChapter1.

The complex systems approach to policy analysis.  aThis volume applies the science of complexity to study coupled human-environment systems (CHES) and integrates ideas from the social sciences of climate change into a study of rural development amid flooding and urbanization in the Poyang Lake Region (PLR) of China. Author Qing Tian operationalizes the concept of sustainability and provides useful scientific analyses for sustainable development in less developed rural areas that are vulnerable to climatic hazards. The book uses a new sustainability framework that is centered on the concept of well-being to study rural development in PLR. The PLR study includes three major analyses: (1) a regional assessment of human well-being; (2) an empirical analysis of rural livelihoods; and (3) an agent-based computer model used to explore future rural development. These analyses provide a meaningful view of human development in the Poyang Lake Region and illustrate some of the complex local- and macro-level processes that shape the livelihoods of rural households in the dynamic process of urbanization. They generate useful insights about how government policy might effectively improve the well-being of rural households and promote sustainable development amid social, economic, and environmental changes. This case study has broader implications. Rural populations in the developing world are disproportionally affected by extreme climate events and climate change. Furthermore, the livelihoods of rural households in the developing world are increasingly under the influences of macro-level forces amid urbanization and globalization. This case study demonstrates that rural development policies must consider broader development dynamics at the national (and even global) level, as well as specific local social and environmental contexts. By treating climate as one of many factors that affect development in such places, we can provide policy recommendations that synergistically promote development and reduce climatic impacts and therefore facilitate mainstreaming climate adaptation into development. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic geography. 0aNatural disasters. 0aEconomic development. 0aSociophysics. 0aEconophysics.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aRegional Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91305024aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P330302 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952684308iPrinted edition:z9783319526867 0aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-416540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52685-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04185nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001700185072002300202072001600225082001500241100008600256245018000342250001800522264007500540300006500615336002600680337002600706338003600732347002400768490004900792505029000841520147301131650001802604650001202622650001902634650002302653650008902676650009302765650009002858650009402948700014903042700008503191700007903276710003403355773002003389776003603409776003603445830004903481856004603530912001403576950005303590978-3-319-52440-5DE-He21320191022031120.0cr nn 008mamaa170107s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195244059978-3-319-52440-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-52440-52doi 4aGC1-1581 7aRBKC2bicssc 7aSCI0520002bisacsh 7aRBKC2thema04a551.462231 aOrtega-Sánchez, Miguel.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMorphodynamics of Mediterranean Mixed Sand and Gravel Coastsh[electronic resource] /cby Miguel Ortega-Sánchez, Rafael J.

Introduction -- Chapter 2. Study sites -- Chapter 3. Importance of nearshore waves on mixed sand and gravel coasts -- Chapter 4. Littoral drift and coastline evolution on mixed sand and gravel coasts -- Chapter 5. Morpho-sedimentary dynamics of mixed sand and gravel coasts.  aThis book describes recent advances in the morphodynamics of mixed sand and gravel Mediterranean coasts, and provides updates and new methods for their study and management. It assesses how the differences in the geomorphic setting, in comparison with traditional sandy beaches, result in distinctive physical processes governing the dynamics of these coasts. Further, on the basis of field measurements, theoretical analysis and numerical modeling carried out at two study sites in southern Spain over the last 15 years, the book studies, analyzes and compares these physical processes and mechanisms. It also shows that the narrow and complex bathymetries and inner shelves modify the wave propagation patterns and hence, the longshore sediment transport gradients along the coast. Given the correlation between the changes in these gradients and the shoreline evolution over time, it identifies the complexity of the inner shelf bathymetries as the main driver of coastal changes and describes these processes in detail using, in the plan view, the inter-annual evolution of unaltered and “altered by human” beaches. Lastly, the book details how the generation and subsequent overlapping of berms across the beach profile are responsible for the sediment variability at depth and cross-shore, and concludes that the total run-up (including the water-level) is a more influential variable than wave height in the erosional/depositional response of these beaches. 0aOceanography. 0aCoasts. 0aGeomorphology. 0aCivil engineering.14aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T230041 aBergillos, Rafael J.eauthor.0(orcid)0000-0001-8674-50431https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8674-50434aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aLópez-Ruiz, Alejandro.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aLosada, Miguel A.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952439908iPrinted edition:z9783319524412 0aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,x2191-536940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52440-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04535nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100008500254245012700339250001800466264007500484300006500559336002600624337002600650338003600676347002400712505028400736520184901020650003002869650002802899650002302927650003002950650002302980650010103003650012303104650011403227650009403341650011003435650009203545700008103637710003403718773002003752776003603772776003603808776003603844856004603880912001403926950005303940978-3-319-52150-3DE-He21320191025111332.0cr nn 008mamaa170207s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195215039978-3-319-52150-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-52150-32doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.72231 aZeleňáková, Martina.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUsing Risk Analysis for Flood Protection Assessmenth[electronic resource] /cby Martina Zeleňáková, Lenka Zvijáková.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 128 p. 34 illus., 18 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction -- 1. Environmental impact assessment - State of the art -- 2. Risk analysis in impact assessment -- 3. Case study – flood protection measures in the Kružlov municipality -- 4. Conclusions and recommendations -- Appendices: description of individual parameters. .  aThis book explores the benefits of using risk analysis techniques in the evaluation of flood protection structures, and examines the results of the environmental impact assessment for selected planned flood protection projects. The objective of the book is to propose a methodology for environmental impact assessment in water management. In more detail, flood mitigation measures are investigated with the aim of selecting the best option for the approval process. This methodology is intended to streamline the process of environmental impact assessment for structures in the field of the water management. The book’s environmental impact assessment system for water management structures analyzes the respective risks for different options. The results are intended to support the selection of future projects that pose minimum risks to the environment. Comparison of alternatives and designation of the optimal variant are implemented on the basis of selected criteria that objectively describe the characteristics of the planned alternatives and their respective impacts on the environment. The proposed Guideline for environmental impact assessment of flood protection objects employs multi-parametric risk analysis, a method intended to not only enhance the transparency and sensitivity of the evaluation process, but also successfully addresses the requirements of environmental impact assessment systems in the European Union. These modifications are intended to improve the outcomes of the environmental impact assessment, but may also be applied to other infrastructure projects. The case study proves that the primary aim – to improve transparency and minimize subjectivity in the environmental impact assessment process specific to flood protection structure projects – is met for the planned project in Kružlov, Slovakia. . 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aCivil engineering. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aNatural disasters.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2300424aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G320001 aZvijáková, Lenka.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952149708iPrinted edition:z978331952151008iPrinted edition:z978331984833440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52150-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03521nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236100007400248245018500322250001800507264006500525300006800590336002600658337002600684338003600710347002400746490003300770505031800803520064701121650002301768650001801791650002601809650001801835650009401853650008901947650011802036650011202154700007202266700007402338700007502412700007502487700007302562710003402635773002002669776003602689776003602725776003602761830003302797856004602830912001402876950005302890978-981-10-2407-8DE-He21320191022051123.0cr nn 008mamaa161115s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110240789978-981-10-2407-87 a10.1007/978-981-10-2407-82doi 4aTN260 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a5532231 aGuan, Defan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aTheory and Practice of Hydrocarbon Generation within Space-Limited Source Rocks h[electronic resource] /cby Defan Guan, Xuhui Xu, Zhiming Li, Lunju Zheng, Caiping Tan, Yimin Yao.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 189 p. 107 illus., 106 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geology,x2197-95450 aBrief Review of Petroleum Geology Theory -- Current Status of Hydrocarbon Generation from Source Rocks -- Hydrocarbon Expulsion and Accumulation from Space-Limited Source Rocks -- Practice of Basin Formation, Hydrocarbon Generation and Accumulation Theory -- Oil Generation in Marine and Terrigenous Environments.  aThis book analyzes hydrocarbon generation and accumulation within space-limited source rocks.

High Resolution Intra-Basinal to Inter-Regional Geodynamic Chronicle During the Mesozoic in and Around the Gtm.  aThe book reviews and summarizes the Indian Mesozoic geological evolution in an innovative alternative perspective of sequence stratigraphy. It mainly focuses on the Jurassic interval, but also concisely discusses the preceding Triassic and Cretaceous geological records. The key to the study is primarily held in the recently developed ammonoid based high resolution scales in the Triassic and Jurassic period. The Indian Jurassic record is thus elevated to a high resolution pedestal. The large intra-Jurassic stratigraphic gap in Kachchh, with increase in duration from margin to basin, has been précised in different sections, along with radical revision of its long held interpretation from sub-aerial to sub-marine all over from Arabia to Australia. Other significant gaps are also differentiated into sub-aerial and sub-marine. The Indian Late Precambrian – Neogene record is organized into five mega-sequences. Among these, the fourth – also the most important one – includes the intra-Permian to Early Eocene interval from the origin to the closure of the Neotethys. Based on multidisciplinary integration of the Indian Mesozoic geological record and comparison with hydrocarbon producing basins on east and west of India, a highly positive scenario of the hydrocarbon source/reservoir sediment perspective is outlined in the book in sequence stratigraphic backdrop as an edifice for future elaborate evaluation. 0aHistorical geology. 0aPaleontology . 0aNatural resources.14aHistorical Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1702024aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U390002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102476408iPrinted edition:z978981102478808iPrinted edition:z9789811096259 0aSpringer Geology,x2197-954540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2477-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03920nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001700188072002300205072001600228082001400244245014600258250001800404264007500422300006600497336002600563337002600589338003600615347002400651505058300675520132901258650002402587650001302611650001602624650002402640650009502664650009502759650013402854700008202988700008103070710003403151773002003185776003603205776003603241776003603277856004603313912001403359950005303373978-3-319-42205-3DE-He21320191023121551.0cr nn 008mamaa170124s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194220539978-3-319-42205-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-42205-32doi 4aHF1021-1027 7aRGCM2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGCM2thema04a330.922314aThe Geography of Tourism of Central and Eastern European Countriesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Krzysztof Widawski, Jerzy Wyrzykowski.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 551 p. 242 illus., 163 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction -- The position of countries of Central and Eastern Europe on the international tourism market -- Geography of tourism of the Republic of Belarus -- Geography of tourism in Bulgaria -- Geography of tourism in Croatia -- Geography of tourism in the Czech Republic -- Geography of tourism in the Hungary -- Lithuanian tourism geography -- Geography of tourism of Poland -- Geography of tourism in Romania -- Geography of tourism of the European part of Russia -- Geography of tourism of Slovakia -- Geography of tourism in Slovenia -- Geography of tourism of Ukraine.  aThis book presents a comprehensive overview of the tourism market development in Central and Eastern European countries.

The alteration, and subsequent restoration, of wetland habitats remain key issues among coastal scientists. These topics are introduced through case studies and pilot programs that are designed to better understand the best practices of trying to save what is left of these fragile ecosystems. Local approaches, as well as national and international efforts to restore the functionality of marsh systems are summarily approached and evaluated by their efficacy in producing resilient reclamations in terms of climate-smart habitat conservation. The outlook of this work is global in extent and local by intent. Included here in summarized form are professional opinions of experts in the field that investigate the crux of matter, which proves to be human pressure on coastal wetland environments. Even though conservation and preservation of these delicate environmental systems may be coming at a later date, many multi-pronged approaches show promise through advances in education, litigation, and engineering to achieve sustainable coastal systems. The examples in this book are not only of interest to those working exclusively with coastal wetlands, but to those also working to protect the surrounding coastal areas of all types. 0aCoasts. 0aGeobiology. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aHydrogeology. 0aConservation biology. 0aEcology .14aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aBiogeosciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3501024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aConservation Biology/Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L191501 aFinkl, Charles W.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMakowski, Christopher.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956178308iPrinted edition:z978331956180608iPrinted edition:z9783319858456 0aCoastal Research Library,x2211-0577 ;v2140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56179-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03743nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001200240100008000252245014100332250001800473264007500491300006300566336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717490005500741505024700796520145201043650002002495650001602515650002002531650008902551650009102640650009102731700008502822710003402907773002002941776003602961776003602997776003603033830005503069856004603124912001403170950005303184978-3-319-55877-6DE-He21320191026011808.0cr nn 008mamaa170425s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195587769978-3-319-55877-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-55877-62doi 4aQE701-760 7aRBX2bicssc 7aSCI0540002bisacsh 7aRBX2thema04a5602231 aPrado, José Luis.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFossil Horses of South Americah[electronic resource] :bPhylogeny, Systemics and Ecology /cby José Luis Prado, María Teresa Alberdi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 150 p. 44 illus., 23 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,x2366-34210 aIntroduction -- Taxonomy nomenclature -- Collections around the word -- Systematic and phylogeny -- Iostratigraphy and biogeography -- Ancient feeding ecology and niche differentiation of Pleistocene horses -- Horses and megafauna extinction.  aThis book provides an update on the phylogeny, systematics and ecology of horses in South America based on data provided over the past three decades. The contemporary South American mammalian communities were shaped by the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama and by the profound climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene. Horses were a conspicuous group of immigrant mammals from North America that arrived in South America during the Pleistocene. This group is represented by 2 genera, Hippidion and Equus, which include small species (Hippidion devillei, H. saldiasi, E. andium and E. insulatus) and large forms (Equus neogeus and H. principale). Both groups arrived in South America via 2 different routes. One model designed to explain this migration indicates that the small forms used the Andes corridor, while larger horses used the eastern route and arrived through some coastal areas. Molecular dating (ancient DNA) suggests that the South American horses separated from the North American taxa (caballines and the New World stilt-legged horse) after 3.6 - 3.2 Ma, consistent with the final formation of the Panamanian Isthmus. Recent studies of stable isotopes in these horses indicate an extensive range of 13C values cover closed woodlands to C4 grasslands. This plasticity agrees with the hypothesis that generalist species and open biome specialist species from North America indicate a positive migration through South America. 0aPaleontology . 0aGeobiology. 0aAnimal ecology.14aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aBiogeosciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3501024aAnimal Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190151 aAlberdi, María Teresa.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955876908iPrinted edition:z978331955878308iPrinted edition:z9783319857695 0aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,x2366-342140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55877-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04342nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245020700266250001800473264007500491300006300566336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717490004400741505092900785520084601714650002902560650003002589650002202619650004002641650002702681650010002708650010102808650009302909650012003002700008103122700008303203700007703286700008203363710003403445773002003479776003603499776003603535776003603571830004403607856004603651912001403697950005303711978-3-319-47877-7DE-He21320191029031333.0cr nn 008mamaa170224s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194787779978-3-319-47877-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-47877-72doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aHandbook of Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development in Higher Educationh[electronic resource] :bVolume 4 /cedited by Walter Leal Filho, Ulisses M.

It offers a unique overview of what universities around the world are doing to implement sustainable development (i.e. via curriculum innovation, research, activities, or practical projects) and how their efforts relate to education for sustainable development at the university level. The Handbook gathers a wealth of information, ideas, best practices and lessons learned in the context of executing concrete projects, and assesses methodological approaches to integrating the topic of sustainable development in university curricula. Lastly, it documents and disseminates the veritable treasure trove of practical experience currently available on sustainability in higher education. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHigher education. 0aSchool management and organization. 0aSchool administration.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aHigher Education.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O3600024aAdministration, Organization and Leadership.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O170001 aLeal Filho, Walter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAzeiteiro, Ulisses M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAlves, Fátima.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMolthan-Hill, Petra.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331947876008iPrinted edition:z978331947878408iPrinted edition:z9783319838472 0aWorld Sustainability Series,x2199-737340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47877-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03453nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007600250245012600326250001800452264009800470300003700568336002600605337002600631338003600657347002400693520157400717650001702291650001702308650005002325650002602375650009702401650008802498650010702586650009902693710003402792773002002826776003602846856004602882912001402928950005302942978-1-61091-833-6DE-He21320191023152356.0cr nn 008mamaa171031s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109183369978-1-61091-833-67 a10.5822/978-1-61091-833-62doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aGillam, Carey.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aWhitewashh[electronic resource] :bThe Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science /cby Carey Gillam.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aApprox. 270 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aIt’s the pesticide on our dinner plates, a chemical so pervasive it’s in the air we breathe, our water, our soil, and even found increasingly in our own bodies. Known as Monsanto’s Roundup by consumers, and as glyphosate by scientists, the world’s most popular weed killer is used everywhere from backyard gardens to golf courses to millions of acres of farmland. For decades it’s been touted as safe enough to drink, but a growing body of evidence indicates just the opposite, with research tying the chemical to cancers and a host of other health threats.       In this volume, the author uncovers one of the most controversial stories in the history of food and agriculture, exposing new evidence of corporate influence. The author introduces readers to farm families devastated by cancers which they believe are caused by the chemical, and to scientists whose reputations have been smeared for publishing research that contradicted business interests. Readers learn about the arm-twisting of regulators who signed off on the chemical, echoing company assurances of safety even as they permitted higher residues of the pesticide in food and skipped compliance tests. And, in startling detail, the author reveals secret industry communications that pull back the curtain on corporate efforts to manipulate public perception.   This book is more than an exposé about the hazards of one chemical or even the influence of one company. It’s a story of power, politics, and the deadly consequences of putting corporate interests ahead of public safety. 0aEnvironment. 0aAgriculture. 0aEconomic development—Environmental aspects. 0aEconomic development.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aDevelopment and Sustainability.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91311024aDevelopment and Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9130602 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091923440uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-833-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03352nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256245012400268250001800392264007500410300006600485336002600551337002600577338003600603347002400639505039600663520095701059650002302016650002002039650002902059650002902088650011402117650010002231650009002331700007502421700007502496710003402571773002002605776003602625776003602661776003602697856004602733912001402779950005302793978-3-319-56742-6DE-He21320191025221754.0cr nn 008mamaa170518s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195674269978-3-319-56742-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-56742-62doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a71022310aTsunami and Fukushima Disaster: Design for Reconstructionh[electronic resource] /cedited by Rob Roggema, Wanglin Yan.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 196 p. 219 illus., 216 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction -- Post-3.11 Reconstruction, an Uneasy Mission -- The Unprecedented Catastrophe of Tohoku Natural and Man-made Disaster -- Government Led Reconstruction Activities in Fukushima with a Specific Focus on the Reconstruction Supporters Project -- The Design Process -- Planning and design in Mianmisoma -- Planning and design in Kesennuma -- conclusion, Recommendations and outlook.  aThis book consists of two parts. The fist part describes the context in which the Prefectures of Minamisoma and Kesennuma need to operate and what the meaning is of the multiple disasters that occurred in the area. The second part illuminates the design process and content of the Minamisoma and Kesennuma designs. Thirdly, the chapters are alternated with reflections on the design and analyses of the disaster on specific themes: energy, demographics and economic factors, environment, water and ecology. The book ends with observations and transcripts of participants in the process, highlighting the benefits of the approach, the appraisal of the process, the appreciation of the design and the parts that could be improved. This final element will lead to recommendation how to implement these kinds of approaches in the area itself and how to spread out over the Tohuku region (the tsunami hit region) and other regions in Japan and Worldwide. . 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aSustainable development. 0aUrban ecology (Biology).14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aUrban Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L191601 aRoggema, Rob.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aYan, Wanglin.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956740208iPrinted edition:z978331956741908iPrinted edition:z978331985989740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56742-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06944nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245014000250250001800390264007500408300006800483336002600551337002600577338003600603347002400639490006200663505339800725520106404123650001705187650002005204650001305224650001805237650002605255650003405281650008805315650008905403650009305492650008905585650009705674650010605771700007505877700007705952710003406029773002006063776003606083776003606119776003606155830006206191856004606253912001406299950005306313978-3-319-46646-0DE-He21320191024232422.0cr nn 008mamaa170124s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194664609978-3-319-46646-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-46646-02doi 4aCC1-960 7aHD2bicssc 7aSOC0030002bisacsh 7aNK2thema04a930.122310aHuman Paleontology and Prehistoryh[electronic resource] :bContributions in Honor of Yoel Rak /cedited by Assaf Marom, Erella Hovers.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVIII, 276 p. 99 illus., 16 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,x1877-90770 a1 Why Was Human Evolution So Rapid -- 2 Wallace's Controversy with Darwin on Man's Mental Evolution, on the Position of the Natives in Human Evolution and his Anticipation of Cultural Evolution, as Distinct from Biological Evolution -- 3 Man’s Place in Past and Future Evolution: A Historical Survey of Remarkable Ideas -- 4 The Paleoecology of the Upper Ndolanya Beds, Laetoli, Tanzania, and Its Implications for Hominin Evolution -- 5 The Australopithecine Brain: Controversies Perpetual -- 6 Posture, Locomotion and Bipedality: The Case of the Gerenuk (Litocranius walleri). 7 Canine Height and Jaw Gape in Catarrhines with Reference to Canine Reduction in Early Hominins.-8 Paranthropus: Where Do Things Stand? 9 Feeding Behavior and Diet in Paranthropus Boisei: The Limits of Functional Inferences from the Mandible -- 10 Aspects of Mandibular Ontogeny in Australopithecus afarensis -- 11 Middle Pleistocene Homo crania from Broken Hill and Petralona: Morphology, Metric Comparisons, and Evolutionary Relationship.-12 Thermoregulation in Homo erectus and Neanderthals: A Reassessment Using a Segmented Model.-13 Behavioral Differences between Near Eastern Neanderthals and the Early Modern Humans from Skhul and Qafzeh: An Assessment Based on Comparative Samples of Holocene Humans -- 14 The Acheulo-Yabrudian – Early Middle Paleolithic Sequence of Misliya Cave, Mount Carmel, Israel -- 15 A 3-D Look at the Tabun C2 Jaw.-16 The Dentition of the Earliest Modern Humans: How ‘Modern’ Are They? -- 17 Talking Hyoids and Talking Neanderthals -- 18 3D Reconstruction of the Spinal Posture of the Kebara 2 Neanderthal -- 19 Brother or Other?

The Place of Neanderthals in Human Evolution. .  aThe aim of the book is to present original and though-provoking essays in human paleontology and prehistory, which are at the forefront of human evolutionary research, in honor of Professor Yoel Rak (a leading scholar in paleoanthropology). The volume presents a collection of original papers contributed by many of Yoel's friends and colleagues from all over the globe. Contributions from experts around the globe fall roughly into three broad categories: Reflections on some of the broad theoretical questions of evolution, and especially about human evolution; the early hominins, with special emphasis on Australopithecus afarensis and Paranthropus; and the Neanderthals, that contentious group of our closest extinct relatives. Within and across these categories, nearly every paper addresses combinations of methodological, analytical and theoretical questions that are pertinent to the whole human evolutionary time span. This book will appeal most to scholars and advanced students in paleoanthropology, human paleontology and prehistoric archaeology. 0aArchaeology. 0aPaleontology . 0aHistory. 0aAnthropology. 0aEvolutionary biology. 0aCulture—Study and teaching.14aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aHistory, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/70000024aAnthropology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1200024aEvolutionary Biology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2100124aRegional and Cultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4110001 aMarom, Assaf.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHovers, Erella.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946644608iPrinted edition:z978331946645308iPrinted edition:z9783319835532 0aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,x1877-907740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46646-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04090nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001600190072002300206072001500229082001400244245009600258250001800354264007500372300006600447336002600513337002600539338003600565347002400601505072600625520124201351650001802593650002302611650001502634650001802649650001702667650008902684650009402773650010202867650016002969650008803129700008003217710003403297773002003331776003603351776003603387776003603423856004603459912001403505950005303519978-3-319-43561-9DE-He21320191021162142.0cr nn 008mamaa161026s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194356199978-3-319-43561-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-43561-92doi 4aGB1001-1199.8 7aRBK2bicssc 7aSCI0810002bisacsh 7aRBK2thema04a551.422310aFundamentals of Statistical Hydrologyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Mauro Naghettini.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 660 p. 162 illus., 103 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1: Introduction to Statistical Hydrology -- Chapter 2: Preliminary Analysis of Hydrological Data -- Chapter 3: Elementary Theory of Probability -- Chapter 4: Discrete Random Variables: Distributions and Applications -- Chapter 5: Continuous Random Variables: Distributions and Applications -- Chapter 6: Parameter Estimation -- Chapter 7: Hypothesis Testing -- Chapter 8: At-Site Frequency Analysis of Hydrological Variables -- Chapter 9: Correlation and Regression -- Chapter 10: Regional Frequency Analysis of Hydrological Variables -- Chapter 11: Introduction of Bayesian Analysis and Its Applications in Hydrology -- Chapter 12: Introduction to the Analysis and Modelling of Nonstationary Hydrological Series.  aThis textbook covers the main applications of statistical methods in hydrology. It is written for upper undergraduate and graduate students but can be used as a helpful guide for hydrologists, geographers, meteorologists and engineers. The book is very useful for teaching, as it covers the main topics of the subject and contains many worked out examples and proposed exercises. Starting from simple notions of the essential graphical examination of hydrological data, the book gives a complete account of the role that probability considerations must play during modelling, diagnosis of model fit, prediction and evaluating the uncertainty in model predictions, including the essence of Bayesian application in hydrology and statistical methods under nonstationarity. The book also offers a comprehensive and useful discussion on subjective topics, such as the selection of probability distributions suitable for hydrological variables. On a practical level, it explains MS Excel charting and computing capabilities, demonstrates the use of Winbugs free software to solve Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulations, and gives examples of free R code to solve nonstationary models with nonlinear link functions with climate covariates. 0aHydrogeology. 0aCivil engineering. 0aHydrology. 0aStatistics . 0aMeteorology.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2300424aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1702024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3120001 aNaghettini, Mauro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943560208iPrinted edition:z978331943562608iPrinted edition:z978331982855840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43561-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05288nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001400242100007700256245019400333250001800527264007500545300004500620336002600665337002600691338003600717347002400753490003100777505026600808520300401074650002604078650001104104650002104115650009704136650009104233650016404324710003404488773002004522776003604542776003604578776003604614830003104650856004604681912001404727950005304741978-3-319-55693-2DE-He21320191028112503.0cr nn 008mamaa170506s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195569329978-3-319-55693-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-55693-22doi 4aGE170-190 7aJPQB2bicssc 7aPOL0440002bisacsh 7aJPQB2thema04a354.32231 aMetz, Florence.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFrom Network Structure to Policy Design in Water Protectionh[electronic resource] :bA Comparative Perspective on Micropollutants in the Rhine River Riparian Countries /cby Florence Metz.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVI, 317 p. 10 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Water,x2364-69340 aChapter 1.

Discussion: Can policy networks explain some part of the variance of policy design? -- Chapter 7. Conclusion.  aThe book examines a new concern in water quality policy, namely aquatic micropollutants. Micropollutants are chemicals detected in small concentrations in waterbodies today, originating from pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or detergents, among others. Since the regulation of micropollutants is a fairly new issue, it has been largely neglected in social sciences. However, the search for appropriate solutions is of high political relevance at both the national and international levels, with many open questions arising that concern the most adequate governance structures and steering mechanisms. Solutions suitable for classical, macro-pollutants, such as nutrients, do not necessarily apply to micropollutants because of the diversity of compounds and sources, and for technical, financial, and societal reasons. The book addresses this knowledge gap by investigating the steering mechanisms at hand and their prospect for problem solving. In this regard, the research provides a systematic depiction and comparison of policy designs in place for the reduction of micropollutants in the Rhine basin. Moreover, the study yields insights into the governance structures in place, into actors’ responsibilities and constellations, and policy processes regarding micropollutants. The study is furthermore embedded into broader theoretical questions of policy research. More precisely, this research is a contribution to policy analysis that aims to achieve more optimal policy results by providing for a better understanding of the nature of policy designs and the social mechanisms behind the choice of them. Despite the intrinsic aim of policy analysis at contributing to more optimal policy outcomes, there remains a lack of research regarding analytical tools that enable an ex-ante assessment of policy designs’ problem-solving abilities. To explore such a research path, this book proposes a novel index of policy comprehensiveness for quantifying the prospective performance of policy designs in alleviating an underlying policy issue, e.g. reducing pollutants in waters. Furthermore, the book uncovers the social mechanisms behind policymaking and turns to the question: In which social settings is it possible to achieve a comprehensive policy design? Compared to purely micro-level explanations, the advantage of the network approach is that it goes beyond the mere aggregation of policy actors’ attributes by taking into consideration actors’ interdependencies. In order to take the network approach seriously, the study systematically links the structure of a policy network with comprehensive policy designs. Network concepts, such as coalition structure, interconnectedness, and belief similarity, are employed from policy change research here in order to explore the link between structural network characteristics and comprehensive policy design. By studying how network structures affect policy design, the book critically examines the explanatory value of the network approach. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aWater. 0aWater pollution.14aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aWater, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/20000024aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U350402 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955692508iPrinted edition:z978331955694908iPrinted edition:z9783319857299 0aSpringer Water,x2364-693440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55693-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03606nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001500188072002300203072001400226082001600240100007500256245010400331250001800435264007500453300006700528336002600595337002600621338003600647347002400683505015300707520109500860650003001955650001801985650002902003650001602032650002702048650012602075650016002201650010702361650012402468650010002592650010902692710003402801773002002835776003602855776003602891776003602927856004602963912001403009950005303023978-3-319-52338-5DE-He21320191022001527.0cr nn 008mamaa170203s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195233859978-3-319-52338-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-52338-52doi 4aTA703-705.4 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a624.1512231 aŞen, Zekâi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aInnovative Trend Methodologies in Science and Engineeringh[electronic resource] /cby Zekâi Şen.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 349 p. 163 illus., 51 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aTrend definition and analysis -- Trend in some disciplines -- Pros and cons of trend analysis -- Future research directions -- Purpose of this book.  aThis book covers all types of literature on existing trend analysis approaches, but more than 60% of the methodologies are developed here and some of them are reflected to scientific literature and others are also innovative versions, modifications or improvements. The suggested methodologies help to design, develop, manage and deliver scientific applications and training to meet the needs of interested staff in companies, industries and universities including students. Technical content and expertise are also provided from different theoretical and especially active roles in the design, development and delivery of science in particular and economics and business in general. It is also ensured that, wherever possible and technically appropriate, priority is given to the inclusion and integration of real life data, examples and processes within the book content. The time seems right, because available books just focus on special sectors (fashion, social, business). This book reviews all the available trend approaches in the present literature on rational and logical bases. . 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aStatistics . 0aArtificial intelligence. 0aManagement. 0aIndustrial management.14aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1702024aStatistical Theory and Methods.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1100124aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1704024aArtificial Intelligence.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I2100024aInnovation/Technology Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/5180002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952337808iPrinted edition:z978331952339208iPrinted edition:z978331984878540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52338-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05403nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224072001600239082001600255082001400271245010100285250001800386264007500404300006400479336002600543337002600569338003600595347002400631505134800655520207402003650002204077650002004099650002604119650002304145650011004168650010604278650010804384650009204492700007404584710003404658773002004692776003604712776003604748856004604784912001404830950005304844978-3-319-57076-1DE-He21320191026043014.0cr nn 008mamaa170803s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195707619978-3-319-57076-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-57076-12doi 4aTD1-1066 7aRNH2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNH2thema 7aTQSR2thema04a363.72822304a628.422310aAdvances in Solid and Hazardous Waste Managementh[electronic resource] /cedited by Sudha Goel.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 371 p. 116 illus., 38 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

The economics of waste management have since become a significant research area in their own right, and two chapters address these issues. In addition, dedicated chapters cover specific categories of waste such as biomedical and institutional waste, plastics and e-waste. The book subsequently discusses newer analytical methods like SEM, EDX, XRD and optical microscopy, along with selected “older” methods for sampling and characterizing different types of waste. The various applications of mathematical tools like linear optimization, various software/models like WISCLeach, and DRASTIC, and tools like remote sensing and GIS are illustrated in many of the chapters. Lastly, since composting is one of the most popular treatment methods for managing the organic component of municipal solid waste, the book provides an overview of composting and the fundamentals of microbiology that are essential to understanding waste-related biological processes. The book was primarily written for students and practitioners in the field who are already familiar with the basics. All chapters were prepared by practicing experts and scholars in the field, and are intended to help readers better understand and apply these principles and practices in their own endeavours. Key topics covered in the book:   •    The circular economy and the economics of solid waste management •    Various remote sensing and GIS applications for managing municipal solid waste, coal fires in mines, changes in land use and land cover in industrial areas, etc. •    Treatment and management of different types of solid waste: institutional (including biomedical), residential, e-waste, plastic, and ash from thermal power plants •    Sampling and characterization of municipal waste and compost •    Fundamentals of microbiology •    Overview of environmental regulations, especially those pertaining to solid and hazardous waste management. 0aWaste management. 0aRemote sensing. 0aPollution prevention. 0aNatural disasters.14aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aIndustrial Pollution Prevention.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3502024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G320001 aGoel, Sudha.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331957074708iPrinted edition:z978331957075440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57076-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03943nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245014300250250001800393264009800411300004300509336002600552337002600578338003600604347002400640520197100664650001702635650002302652650001602675650002502691650009702716650011402813650008702927650009603014700007803110700008203188710003403270773002003304776003603324856004603360912001403406950005303420978-1-61091-768-1DE-He21320191023212519.0cr nn 008mamaa171006s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109176819978-1-61091-768-17 a10.5822/978-1-61091-768-12doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.722310aPeople, Forests, and Changeh[electronic resource] :bLessons from the Pacific Northwest /cedited by Deanne H.

The timber we use to build our homes, the water we drink, and the oxygen in the air we breathe come from the complex forested ecosystem that many of us take for granted. As urban boundaries expand and rural landscapes are developed, forests are under more pressure than ever. It is time to forgo the thinking that forests can be managed outside of human influence, and shift instead to management strategies that consider humans to be part of the forest ecosystem. Only then can we realistically plan for coexisting and sustainable forests and human communities in the future.

The book considers the temperate moist-coniferous forests of the US Pacific Northwest, but many of the concepts apply broadly to challenges in forest management in other regions and countries.  In the US northwest, forest ecosystem management has been underway for two decades, and key lessons are emerging. The text is divided into four parts that set the stage for forests and rural forest economies, describe dynamic forest systems at work, consider new science in forest ecology and management, and ponder the future for these coniferous forests under different scenarios. This book brings together ideas grounded in science for policy makers, forest and natural resource managers, students, and conservationists who wish to understand how to manage forests conscientiously to assure their long-term viability and that of human communities who depend on them. 0aEnvironment. 0aNatural resources. 0aEcosystems. 0aForestry management.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4801024aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aForestry Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L220161 aOlson, Deanne H.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aVan Horne, Beatrice.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091874940uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-768-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03928nam a22004455i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007800250245011300328250001800441264009800459300003700557336002600594337002600620338003600646347002400682520215500706650001702861650002302878650002002901650003002921650009702951650011403048650011703162710003403279773002003313776003603333856004603369912001403415950005303429978-1-61091-773-5DE-He21320191023231313.0cr nn 008mamaa171109s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109177359978-1-61091-773-57 a10.5822/978-1-61091-773-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aLangdon, Philip.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aWithin Walking Distanceh[electronic resource] :bCreating Livable Communities for All /cby Philip Langdon.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aApprox. 280 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aFor five thousand years, human settlements were nearly always compact places. Everything a person needed on a regular basis lay within walking distance. But then the great project of the twentieth century—sorting people, businesses, and activities into separate zones, scattered across vast metropolises—took hold, exacting its toll on human health, natural resources, and the climate. Living where things were beyond walking distance ultimately became, for many people, a recipe for frustration. As a result, many Americans have begun seeking compact, walkable communities or looking for ways to make their current neighborhood better connected, more self-sufficient, and more pleasurable. In this volume, the author looks at why and how Americans are shifting toward a more human-scale way of building and living. He shows how people are creating, improving, and caring for walkable communities. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Starting conditions differ radically, as do the attitudes and interests of residents. To draw the most important lessons, Langdon spent time in six communities that differ in size, history, wealth, diversity, and education, yet share crucial traits: compactness, a mix of uses and activities, and human scale. The six are Center City Philadelphia; the East Rock section of New Haven, Connecticut; Brattleboro, Vermont; the Little Village section of Chicago; the Pearl District in Portland, Oregon; and the Cotton District in Starkville, Mississippi. In these communities, Langdon examines safe, comfortable streets; sociable sidewalks; how buildings connect to the public realm; bicycling; public transportation; and incorporation of nature and parks into city or town life. In all these varied settings, he pays special attention to a vital ingredient: local commitment. To improve conditions and opportunities for everyone, the author argues that places where the best of life is within walking distance ought to be at the core of our thinking. This book is for anyone who wants to understand what can be done to build, rebuild, or improve a community while retaining the things that make it distinctive. 0aEnvironment. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aSustainable architecture.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1220002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091868840uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-773-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03516nam a22004455i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007600250245009700326250001800423264009800441300004500539336002600584337002600610338003600636347002400672520177700696650001702473650002302490650002002513650002602533650009702559650011402656650009702770710003402867773002002901776003602921856004602957912001403003950005303017978-1-61091-817-6DE-He21320191023221311.0cr nn 008mamaa171012s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109181769978-1-61091-817-67 a10.5822/978-1-61091-817-62doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aReid, Carlton.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aBike Boomh[electronic resource] :bThe Unexpected Resurgence of Cycling /cby Carlton Reid.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aXXIII, 246 p. 2 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aBicycling advocates envision a future in which bikes are a widespread daily form of transportation. While many global cities are seeing the number of bike commuters increase, this future is still far away; at times, urban cycling seems to be fighting for its very survival. Will we ever witness a true “bike boom” in cities? What can we learn from past successes and failures to make cycling safer, easier, and more accessible? Use of bicycles in America and Britain fell off a cliff in the 1950s and 1960s thanks to the rapid rise in car ownership. Urban planners and politicians predicted that cycling would wither to nothing, and they did their level best to bring about this extinction by catering to only motorists. But in the 1970s, something strange happened—bicycling bounced back, first in America and then in Britain.  In this volume, the author uses history to shine a spotlight on the present and demonstrates how bicycling has the potential to grow even further, if the right measures are put in place by the politicians and planners of today and tomorrow. He explores the benefits and challenges of cycling, the roles of infrastructure and advocacy, and what we can learn from cities that have successfully supported and encouraged bike booms, including London; Davis, California; Montreal; Stevenage; Amsterdam; New York; and Copenhagen. Given that today’s global bicycling “boom” has its roots in the early 1970s, the author draws lessons from that period.  At that time, the Dutch were investing in bike infrastructure and advocacy— the US and the UK had the choice to follow the Dutch example, but didn’t. Reid sets out to discover what we can learn from the history of bike “booms” in this entertaining and thought-provoking book. 0aEnvironment. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X330402 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091872540uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-817-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03795nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007800250245009700328250001800425264009800443300003700541336002600578337002600604338003600630347002400666520199500690650001702685650002302702650002302725650001602748650009702764650009202861650009402953650008703047710003403134773002003168776003603188856004603224912001403270950005303284978-1-61091-819-0DE-He21320191023151950.0cr nn 008mamaa171012s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109181909978-1-61091-819-07 a10.5822/978-1-61091-819-02doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aStruzik, Edward.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFirestormh[electronic resource] :bHow Wildfire Will Shape Our Future /cby Edward Struzik.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aApprox. 250 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aFor two months in the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire “the Beast.” It acted like a mythical animal, alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it’s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. A glance at international headlines shows a remarkable increase in higher temperatures, stronger winds, and drier lands– a trifecta for igniting wildfires like we’ve rarely seen before. This change is particularly noticeable in the northern forests of the United States and Canada. These forests require fire to maintain healthy ecosystems, but as the human population grows, and as changes in climate, animal and insect species, and disease cause further destabilization, wildfires have turned into a potentially uncontrollable threat to human lives and livelihoods. Our understanding of the role fire plays in healthy forests has come a long way in the past century. Despite this, we are not prepared to deal with an escalation of fire during periods of intense drought and shorter winters, earlier springs, potentially more lightning strikes and hotter summers. There is too much fuel on the ground, too many people and assets to protect, and no plan in place to deal with these challenges. In this book, the author visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. The author weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires. 0aEnvironment. 0aNatural disasters. 0aLandscape ecology. 0aEcosystems.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aLandscape Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1905824aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091926540uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-819-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03900nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100008100266245017700347250001800524264007500542300006400617336002600681337002600707338003600733347002400769505080300793520102301596650002902619650005102648650001902699650001302718650010002731650010202831650010702933700007903040710003403119773002003153776003603173776003603209776003603245856004603281912001403327950005303341978-1-137-59911-7DE-He21320191021161455.0cr nn 008mamaa161215s2017    xxk|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97811375991179978-1-137-59911-77 a10.1057/978-1-137-59911-72doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aSciarelli, Fabiana.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aDevelopment Management of Transforming Economiesh[electronic resource] :bTheories, Approaches and Models for Overall Development /cby Fabiana Sciarelli, Azzurra Rinaldi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aLondon :bPalgrave Macmillan UK :bImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,c2017.  aXXV, 499 p. 60 illus., 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPART ONE: DEVELOPMENT -- Chapter 1 Defining Development -- Chapter 2 Theories of Development -- Chapter 3 Development Indicators and International Rankings -- Chapter 4 Special Focus on the Transforming Economies -- PART TWO: ACTORS OF DEVELOPMENT -- Chapter 5 Public Actors -- Chapter 6 Private Actors and Non-Governmental Actors (NGA) -- Chapter 7 Mixed Actors -- PART THREE: DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES IN THE WORLD -- Chapter 8 Development Programmes in Africa -- Chapter 9 Development Programmes in Asia -- PART FOUR: FROM TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE TO THE OPTIMAL STRUCTURE -- Chapter 10 Traditional Structure of Development Programme -- Chapter 11 Development in Three Phases: The Future of Transforming Areas -- Chapter 12 Overall Development Model for Transforming Areas -- Bibliography.  aThis insightful book offers a new and innovative tool in the study of development. The authors propose ‘The Overall Development Model’ which provides a strategy for long-term, sustainable and adaptable development for countries around the globe. Starting with a comprehensive study into what development is and how it is achieved, Development Management of Transforming Economies critically analyzes current development schemes within transforming economies and examines their various actors both international and local, public and private. It examines the implementation of health, education and economic strategies of countries in Africa and Asia that have either undergone a development process, experienced slow but steady progress, or are just beginning to pursue a development strategy. In considering human development as a whole, the authors assert a new method of development that includes the developing population, and highlights the need for countries to define their own unique development process. . 0aSustainable development. 0aIndustrial management—Environmental aspects. 0aGlobalization. 0aMarkets.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aSustainability Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/51504024aEmerging Markets/Globalization.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/5250101 aRinaldi, Azzurra.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978113759910008iPrinted edition:z978134999705308iPrinted edition:z978134995595440uhttps://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59911-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)08757nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245008900250250001800339264006700357300006700424336002600491337002600517338003600543347002400579490005400603505436000657520255505017650001707572650003007589650001807619650008807637650012607725650008907851700007907940710003408019773003108053776003608084830005408120856004608174912001408220950005308234978-1-4020-4409-0DE-He21320191023122223.0cr nn 008mamaa160811s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97814020440909978-1-4020-4409-07 a10.1007/978-1-4020-4409-02doi 4aCC1-960 7aHD2bicssc 7aSOC0030002bisacsh 7aNK2thema04a930.122310aEncyclopedia of Geoarchaeologyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Allan S.

Archaeological recovery and analysis are already geoarchaeological in the most fundamental sense because buried remains are contained within and removed from an essentially geological context. Yet geoarchaeological research goes beyond this simple relationship and attempts to build collaborative links between specialists in archaeology and the earth sciences to produce new knowledge about past human behavior using the technical information and methods of the geosciences. The principal goals of geoarchaeology lie in understanding the relationships between humans and their environment. These goals include (1) how cultures adjust to their ecosystem through time, (2) what earth science factors were related to the evolutionary emergence of humankind, and (3) which methodological tools involving analysis of sediments and landforms, documentation and explanation of change in buried materials, and measurement of time will allow access to new aspects of the past. This encyclopedia defines terms, introduces problems, describes techniques, and discusses theory and strategy, all in a format designed to make specialized details accessible to the public as well as practitioners. It covers subjects in environmental archaeology, dating, materials analysis, and paleoecology, all of which represent different sources of specialist knowledge that must be shared in order to reconstruct, analyze, and explain the record of the human past. It will not specifically cover sites, civilizations, and ancient cultures, etc., that are better described in other encyclopedias of world archaeology. The Editor Allan S. Gilbert is Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York. He holds a B.A. from Rutgers University, and his M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. were earned at Columbia University. His areas of research interest include the Near East (late prehistory and early historic periods) as well as the Middle Atlantic region of the U.S. (historical archaeology). His specializations are in archaeozoology of the Near East and geoarchaeology, especially mineralogy and compositional analysis of pottery and building materials. Publications have covered a range of subjects, including ancient pastoralism, faunal quantification, skeletal microanatomy, brick geochemistry, and two co-edited volumes on the marine geology and geoarchaeology of the Black Sea basin.  . 0aArchaeology. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aAnthropology.14aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aAnthropology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X120001 aGilbert, Allan S.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eReference08iPrinted edition:z9789400748279 0aEncyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series,x1388-436040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-4409-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03187nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001500239100007600254245012000330250001800450264008200468300006500550336002600615337002600641338003600667347002400703490004400727505057500771520071401346650002402060650002002084650001902104650009502123650011402218650009002332710003402422773002002456776003602476776003602512830004402548856004602592912001402638950005302652978-3-662-49839-2DE-He21320191022012430.0cr nn 008mamaa161102s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836624983929978-3-662-49839-27 a10.1007/978-3-662-49839-22doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a910.022231 aChen, Xiaoqiu.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSpatiotemporal Processes of Plant Phenologyh[electronic resource] :bSimulation and Prediction /cby Xiaoqiu Chen.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 98 p. 40 illus., 13 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-41650 aPlant Phenology of Natural Landscape Dynamics -- Temporal Pattern of Plant Phenology -- Spatial Pattern of Plant Phenology -- Coupling Effect of Spatiotemporal Variation of Plant Phenology -- Statistical Simulation of Temporal Variation of Plant Phenology -- Statistical Simulation of Spatial Variation of Plant Phenology -- Process-based Simulation and Prediction of Spatiotemporal Variation of Plant Phenology -- Spatiotemporal Validation of Remote Sensing Phenology -- Process-based Spatiotemporal Simulation and Prediction of Remote Sensing Phenology -- Conclusions.  aThis book deals with phenology, the study of recurring biological life cycle stages, and especially their timing and relationships with biotic and abiotic forces. Given the theoretical and methodological innovations involved, the chapters on defining spatiotemporal patterns of plant phenology and constructing daily temperature-based temporal/spatial models and process-based regional unified models will be of particular interest. Helping readers discover and explore plant phenology’s perspectives in terms of spatiotemporal patterns, processes and mechanisms, the book will also equip young scientists and graduate students to understand the causes of spatiotemporal variation in vegetation seasonality. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change. 0aPlant ecology.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aPlant Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L191122 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978366249837808iPrinted edition:z9783662498385 0aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-416540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-49839-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03971nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245016500268250001800433264007800451300003300529336002600562337002600588338003600614347002400650490004000674505018000714520188400894650001602778650009502794700007602889700007902965700008603044700008003130710003403210773002003244776003603264776003603300830004003336856004603376912001403422950005303436978-3-319-55480-8DE-He21320191027221153.0cr nn 008mamaa170417s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195548089978-3-319-55480-87 a10.1007/978-3-319-55480-82doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aGlobal Tsunami Science: Past and Future, Volume Ih[electronic resource] /cedited by Eric L Geist, Hermann M.

The global community of researchers has also expanded by discipline, adapting advances in other sciences to study all aspects of tsunami hydrodynamics, detection, generation, and probability of occurrence. The papers presented in this first of two topical volumes of Pure and Applied Geophysics reflect the state of tsunami science during this time. Nine papers examine various aspects of tsunami hazard and risk assessment. Five papers present new methods for tsunami warning and detection and six other papers describe new methods for understanding tsunami hydrodynamics. The final five papers of the volume describe tsunamis generated by non-seismic sources and important case studies. Collectively, this volume highlights contemporary trends in global tsunami science, both fundamental and applied toward hazard assessment and mitigation. The volume is of interest to scientists and practitioners involved in all aspects of tsunamis from source processes to coastal impacts. Postgraduate students in geophysics, oceanography and coastal engineering – as well as students in the broader geosciences, civil and environmental engineering – will also find the book to be a valuable resource, as it combines recent case studies with advances in tsunami science and natural hazards mitigation. 0aGeophysics.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180091 aGeist, Eric L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aFritz, Hermann M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRabinovich, Alexander B.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTanioka, Yuichiro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955479208iPrinted edition:z9783319554815 0aPageoph Topical Volumes,x2504-362540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55480-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03850nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245014200251250001800393264008500411300004300496336002600539337002600565338003600591347002400627490002400651505066200675520106101337650002102398650002202419650003502441650002602476650013602502650010002638650010702738650009702845700009102942710003403033773002003067776003603087776003603123776003603159830002403195856004603219912001403265950005303279978-3-319-44012-5DE-He21320191022131643.0cr nn 008mamaa161124s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194401259978-3-319-44012-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-44012-52doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aSports Mega-Events and Urban Legaciesh[electronic resource] :bThe 2014 FIFA World Cup, Brazil /cedited by Eduardo Alberto Cusce Nobre.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,c2017.  aXV, 163 p. 19 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aMega Event Planning0 aChapter 1.

The Cup Final Score: What went wrong?.  aThis book examines the urban legacy of the 2014 football World Cup in Brazil across the seven cities that hosted matches. The authors, all experts and natives of South America, analyse the context and impacts of hosting the World Cup for each of the host cities. The chapters use a range of background data and local knowledge and understanding to critically assess what benefits or disadvantages came along with bidding for and hosting World Cup final games, and importantly considers who the beneficiaries where and are. It further provides detailed empirical evidence that highlights a growing trend in sporting mega events: the overestimation of benefits and an underestimation of costs involved in hosting. The book adds to the critical literature that provides a counterweight to governments' aspirations to use mega events for the purposes of development and/or globalization, irrespective of the views of their citizens.

It broadly addresses new approaches to monitoring hazards using freely available images from the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Sentinel-1 SAR satellite and benchmarks a new interdisciplinary field at the interface between oceanography, meteorology and remote sensing. Following the launch of the first European Space Agency (ESA) operational synthetic aperture radar satellite, Sentinel-1, in 2014, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data has been freely available on the Internet hub in real-time. This advance allows weather forecasters to view hurricanes in fine detail for the first time. As a result, the number of synthetic aperture radar research scientists working in this field is set to grow exponentially in the next decade; the book is a valuable resource for this large and budding audience. 0aNatural disasters. 0aRemote sensing. 0aMeteorology.14aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3120001 aLi, Xiaofeng.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102892208iPrinted edition:z978981102894608iPrinted edition:z9789811097331 0aSpringer Natural Hazards,x2365-065640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2893-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03766nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245013500257250001800392264007500410300004400485336002600529337002600555338003600581347002400617490003800641505029300679506001600972520139300988650001902381650003002400650002502430650013302455650011002588650010002698700007902798700008002877710003402957773002002991776003603011776003603047830003803083856004603121912001403167912001403181950005303195978-3-319-33349-6DE-He21320191026031858.0cr nn 008mamaa161123s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193334969978-3-319-33349-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-33349-62doi 4aTD881-890 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a363.739222310aAir Quality Integrated Assessmenth[electronic resource] :bA European Perspective /cedited by Giorgio Guariso, Marialuisa Volta.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVII, 110 p. 50 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,x2282-25770 aAir quality in Europe: today and tomorrow -- A framework for Integrated Assessment Modelling -- Current European AQ planning at regional and local scale -- Strengths and weaknesses of the current EU situation -- Two illustrative examples: Brussels and Porto -- Conclusions: A way forward.0 aOpen Access  aThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book reports on the results of an extended survey conducted across Europe within the framework of the APPRAISAL FP7 project to determine the extent to which an integrated assessment approach to air quality is being adopted, on the one hand, by regional and local authorities to develop air quality plans and, on the other, by researchers. Following a detailed analysis of the role and structure of the components of an integrated assessment study, the results of the survey are considered from a variety of perspectives. Above all, the book discusses the new light the survey sheds on emission abatement policies and measures planned at regional and local scales, and on their synergies/trade-offs with measures implemented at the national scale. Detailed consideration is given to the currently available modeling methodologies for identifying emission sources, assessing the effectiveness of emission reduction measures, and evaluating the impacts of emission abatement measures on human health. Current strengths and weaknesses revealed by the survey are explored, and the application of an integrated assessment tool in two case studies (in Brussels and Porto) is discussed. The book will appeal to all those interested in the use of integrated assessment in connection with the sources, effects and control of air pollution. . 0aAir pollution. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aComputer simulation.14aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3501024aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aSimulation and Modeling.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I190001 aGuariso, Giorgio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aVolta, Marialuisa.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331933348908iPrinted edition:z9783319333502 0aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,x2282-257740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-33349-6  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SOB  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03777nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245013700251250001800388264006500406300006700471336002600538337002600564338003600590347002400626490003800650505018900688520158400877650002102461650003402482650002602516650013602542650009202678650012502770700007502895710003402970773002003004776003603024776003603060776003603096830003803132856004603170912001403216950005303230978-981-10-2329-3DE-He21320191021213348.0cr nn 008mamaa161005s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110232939978-981-10-2329-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-2329-32doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aMorphological Analysis of Cultural DNAh[electronic resource] :bTools for Decoding Culture-Embedded Forms /cedited by Ji-Hyun Lee.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 240 p. 107 illus., 59 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aKAIST Research Series,x2214-25410 a1 Theories for Cultural DNA Research -- 2 Morphological Analysis at Architectural Scale -- 3 Morphological Analysis at Urban Scale -- 4 Analysis of Other Cultural Artifacts -- 5 Tools.  aThis volume describes research in computational design which implements shape grammars or space syntax for morphological analysis, applying these scientific and rule-based methodologies to cultural aspects of the field. The term ‘cultural DNA’ describes the effort to explore computational design from the perspectives of a meme, a socio-cultural analogy to genes. Based on the 1st Cultural DNA Workshop, held at KAIST, Daejeon, Korea in 2015, the book considers whether there is such a thing as a ‘cultural DNA’ common throughout various domains, and if so how computer-assisted tools and methodologies play a role in its investigation. Following an introduction covering some fundamental theories of cultural DNA research, part two of the book describes morphological analysis in architecture, with examples from Malaysia and China. Part three then moves up to morphological analysis at the urban scale, including discussion of morphological evolution in France, development of a model Korean city, and introducing a rule-based generative analysis approach for urban planning. Part four considers methods for analysing the DNA of other cultural artefacts such as online games, novels, cars, and music, and part five introduces the tools under development that aid morphological cultural DNA research including topics about shape grammar, building information modeling (BIM), cultural persona, and prototyping. The book will be of significant interest to those involved in the cultural aspects of urban and architectural design, cultural informatics and design research. 0aUrban geography. 0aCulture—Study and teaching. 0aApplication software.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aCultural Theory.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41113024aComputer Appl. in Social and Behavioral Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I230281 aLee, Ji-Hyun.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102328608iPrinted edition:z978981102330908iPrinted edition:z9789811095924 0aKAIST Research Series,x2214-254140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2329-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04623nam a22006135i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001400186072001500200072002300215072001400238072001500252082001400267082001200281100007600293245015000369250001800519264006500537300006900602336002600671337002600697338003600723347002400759505088500783520113301668650003102801650001902832650002402851650002402875650001802899650002702917650002402944650011602968650009003084650010803174650008903282650011703371700008203488700007603570700008803646710003403734773002003768776003603788776003603824776003603860856004603896912001403942950005303956978-981-10-0875-7DE-He21320191027051649.0cr nn 008mamaa161022s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110087579978-981-10-0875-77 a10.1007/978-981-10-0875-72doi 4aTA170-171 4aTD195.B58 7aTQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aTCB2thema04a660.622304a6282231 aGupta, Varsha.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aBasic and Applied Aspects of Biotechnologyh[electronic resource] /cby Varsha Gupta, Manjistha Sengupta, Jaya Prakash, Baishnab Charan Tripathy.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVII, 527 p. 144 illus., 119 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

Parts of the energy sector are preparing to meet this demand by increasing renewable energy production, which is necessary to combat climate change. But many renewable energy sources have a large energy sprawl—the amount of land needed to produce energy—which can threaten biodiversity and conservation. Is it possible to meet this rise in energy demand, while still conserving natural places and species?  The editors provide a roadmap for preserving biodiversity despite the threats of energy sprawl. Their strategy—development by design—brings together companies, communities, and governments to craft blueprints for sustainable land development. This commonsense approach identifies and preemptively sets aside land where biodiversity can thrive while consolidating development in areas with lower biodiversity value. This approach makes sense for energy industries and governments, which can confidently build sustainability into their energy futures.  This contributed volume brings together experts in diverse fields such as biodiversity conservation, ecology, ecosystem services, wildlife, fisheries, planning, energy, economics, and finance. Early chapters set the context for global patterns of biodiversity risk from energy extraction and the challenges of achieving a green future while maintaining energy security. Middle chapters are devoted to case studies from countries around the world, each describing a different energy sector and the collaborative process involved in planning complex energy projects in a way that maximizes biodiversity protection. Detailed maps and charts help orient readers to countries and energy sectors, providing proof for what is possible.  With biodiversity declining rapidly because of an energy-hungry world, this book provides a needed guide for elected officials, industry representatives, NGOs and community groups who have a stake in sustainable energy-development planning. 0aEnvironment. 0aClimate change. 0aNatural resources.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480101 aKiesecker, Joseph M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aNaugle, David E.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091867140uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-723-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03500nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224072001600239082001600255082001400271100008100285245012700366250001800493264006500511300005300576336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717490007400741505038200815520075601197650002201953650002901975650003002004650003102034650001902065650001502084650011002099650010002209650010102309650011602410650009502526710003402621773002002655776003602675776003602711830007402747856004602821912001402867950005302881978-981-10-4631-5DE-He21320191024191925.0cr nn 008mamaa170617s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110463159978-981-10-4631-57 a10.1007/978-981-10-4631-52doi 4aTD1-1066 7aRNH2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNH2thema 7aTQSR2thema04a363.72822304a628.42231 aPharino, Chanathip.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aChallenges for Sustainable Solid Waste Managementh[electronic resource] :bLessons from Thailand /cby Chanathip Pharino.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 141 p. 58 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs on Case Studies of Sustainable Development,x2196-78300 a1 Integrated Waste Management System Overview -- 2 Waste Characteristics And Practices -- 3 Municipal Wastes Management In Thailand -- 4 Community Based Waste Management In Thailand -- 5 Household Hazardous Waste Management In Thailand -- 6 Infectious Waste Management In Thailand -- 7 Electronic Waste Management In Thailand -- 8 E-Waste Management In Thailand (Case Studies).  aThis book analyzes the status quo concerning waste generation and management systems in Thailand and other developing countries with similar problems.

The book surveys the state of the art of Smart City Economic Development through a literature survey. The book uses 13 in depth city research case studies in 10 countries such as the North America, Europe, Africa and Asia to explain how a smart economy changes the urban spatial system and vice versa. This book focuses on exploratory city studies in different countries, which investigate how urban spatial systems adapt to the specific needs of smart urban economy. The theory of smart city economic development is not yet entirely understood and applied in metropolitan regional plans. Smart urban economies are largely the result of the influence of ICT applications on all aspects of urban economy, which in turn changes the land-use system. It points out that the dynamics of smart city GDP creation takes ‘different paths,’ which need further empirical study, hypothesis testing and mathematical modelling. Although there are hypotheses on how smart cities generate wealth and social benefits for nations, there are no significant empirical studies available on how they generate urban economic development through urban spatial adaptation. This book with 13 cities research studies is one attempt to fill in the gap in knowledge base. . 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aApplied mathematics. 0aEngineering mathematics. 0aArchitecture. 0aSustainable development. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aMathematical and Computational Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T1100624aCities, Countries, Regions.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K1400024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130001 aVinod Kumar, T.

The book is divided into two distinct sections – floods and droughts – and offers a variety of techniques for monitoring each. With rapid advances in computer modelling and observing systems, floods and droughts are studied with greater precision today than ever before. Land surface models, especially over the entire Continental United States, can map the hydrological cycle at kilometre and sub-kilometre scales. In the case of smaller areas there is even higher spatial resolution and the only limiting factor is the resolution of input data. In-situ sensors are automated and the data is directly relayed to the world wide web for many hydrological variables such as precipitation, soil moisture, surface temperature and heat fluxes. In addition, satellite remote sensing has advanced to providing twice a day repeat observations at kilometre to ten-kilometre spatial scales. We are at a critical juncture in the study of hydrological extremes, and the GPM and SMAP missions as well as the MODIS and GRACE sensors give us more tools and data than were ever available before. A global variety of chapter authors provides wide-ranging perspectives and case studies that will make this book an indispensable resource for researchers, engineers, and even emergency management and insurance professionals who study and/or manage hydrological extremes. 0aRemote sensing. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aNatural disasters. 0aHydrology. 0aClimate change.14aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3140001 aLakshmi, Venkat.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943743908iPrinted edition:z978331943745308iPrinted edition:z9783319829005 0aSpringer Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry,x2198-072140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43744-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03307nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242082001400258245012800272250001800400264007500418300006800493336002600561337002600587338003600613347002400649490003900673505049900712520068101211650002101892650001601913650001601929650002301945650001801968650010501986650009102091650010402182650008902286700007602375710003402451773002002485776003602505776003602541776003602577830003902613856004602652912001402698950005302712978-3-319-43392-9DE-He21320191027043149.0cr nn 008mamaa160928s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194339299978-3-319-43392-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-43392-92doi 4aQH541.5.S3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aRBKF2bicssc 7aSCI0390002bisacsh 7aRBKF2thema04a551.422314aThe Diversity of Russian Estuaries and Lagoons Exposed to Human Influenceh[electronic resource] /cedited by Ruben Kosyan.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 270 p. 193 illus., 128 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEstuaries of the World,x2214-15530 a1.

Readers will learn about the the application of different paleoecological approaches used in estuaries that develop our understanding of their response to natural and human influences. Particular attention is given to the essential steps required for undertaking a paleoecological study, in particular with regard to site selection, core extraction and chronological techniques, followed by the range of indicators that can be used. A series of case studies are discussed in the book to demonstrate how paleoecological studies can be used to address key questions, and to sustainably manage these important coastal environments in the future. This book will appeal to professional scientists interested in estuarine studies and/or paleoenvironmental research, as well as estuarine managers who are interested in the incorporation of paleoenvironmental research into their management programs. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aSedimentology. 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology. 0aOceanography. 0aEcosystems.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1708024aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2100624aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X1 aWeckström, Kaarina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSaunders, Krystyna M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGell, Peter A.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSkilbeck, C.

Dust/sand storms are a common and important phenomenon in the arid and semi-arid regions of Kazakhstan, especially in its southern parts, where areas are covered by a great variety of deserts and offer a significant source of mineral and salt aerosols. The deserts of Kazakhstan mostly cover lowlands and extend from the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea to the piedmonts of the Tien-Shan Mountain. In Kazakhstan, desertification processes due to wind erosion in the form of dust/sand storms were observed in semi-desert and desert landscapes. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aMeteorology. 0aNatural disasters. 0aMineral resources. 0aStructural geology.14aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31200024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aMineral Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3801024aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170401 aAbuduwaili, Jilili.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103189208iPrinted edition:z978981103191508iPrinted edition:z9789811098123 0aEnvironmental Science and Engineering,x1863-552040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3190-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06343nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256245011900270250001800389264007500407300006800482336002600550337002600576338003600602347002400638490004100662505311900703520103703822650001804859650002304877650002004900650001804920650010404938650011305042650008905155700007805244700008305322700008005405710003405485773002005519776003605539776003605575776003605611830004105647856004605688912001405734950005305748978-3-319-43394-3DE-He21320191022023337.0cr nn 008mamaa161101s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194339439978-3-319-43394-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-43394-32doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.422310aGlobal Soil Securityh[electronic resource] /cedited by Damien J.

These five dimensions make it possible to understand soil's role in delivering ecosystem services and to quantify soil resource by measuring, mapping, modeling and managing it. Each dimension refers to a specific aspect: contribution to global challenges (Capability), value of the soil (Capital), current state of the soil (Condition), how people are connected to the soil (Connectivity) and development of good policy (Codification). This book considers soil security as an integral part of meeting the ongoing challenge to maintain human health and secure our planet's sustainability. The concept of soil security helps to achieve the need to maintain and improve the world’s soil for the purpose of producing food, fiber and freshwater, and contributing to energy and climate sustainability. At the same time it helps to maintain biodiversity and protects ecosystem goods and services. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aClimate change. 0aBiodiversity.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190311 aField, Damien J.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMorgan, Cristine L.S.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcBratney, Alex B.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943393608iPrinted edition:z978331943395008iPrinted edition:z9783319828114 0aProgress in Soil Science,x2352-477440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43394-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04488nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224072001600239082001600255082001400271245013300285250001800418264006500436300004300501336002600544337002600570338003600596347002400632505094300656520152001599650002203119650003003141650003003171650011003201650012603311650011003437700008203547700007803629710003403707773002003741776003603761776003603797776003603833856004603869912001403915950005303929978-981-10-2410-8DE-He21320191022031247.0cr nn 008mamaa170107s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110241089978-981-10-2410-87 a10.1007/978-981-10-2410-82doi 4aTD1-1066 7aRNH2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNH2thema 7aTQSR2thema04a363.72822304a628.422310aModelling Trends in Solid and Hazardous Waste Managementh[electronic resource] /cedited by Debashish Sengupta, Sudha Agrahari.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 171 p. 41 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1.

In addition to an in-depth description of the recent regulatory paradigm for solid waste disposal and revealing insights into solid waste management models, the book also addresses significant case history and remediation methodologies for sustainable development in emerging economies like India, China and Brazil. The main emphasis is on a suitable regulatory framework with site-specific baseline calibration and aimed at the robust modeling of contaminant transport and its remediation. This is based on instructive case history in various locations/regions worldwide. The focus on recent modeling and quantification methods is the backbone of the book. One of the major aspects discussed is the application of non-invasive methods for studies related to the Earth's interior, which are increasingly preferred over invasive techniques thanks to their economic utility, as well as robust techniques for the interpretation of geophysical data. The increasing demand for groundwater and energy resources, especially for rapidly emerging countries with large populations like India and China, has made it vital to derive safe utilization approaches for our resources, including suitable waste disposal and remediation methodologies that can be adopted for 'contaminated sites.'. 0aWaste management. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aEnvironmental monitoring.14aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X1 aSengupta, Debashish.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAgrahari, Sudha.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102409208iPrinted edition:z978981102411508iPrinted edition:z978981109609940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2410-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07049nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245012200254250001800376264007500394300006500469336002600534337002600560338003600586347002400622490004000646505380300686506001604489520082404505650003005329650002005359650002105379650001705400650002105417650001505438650010105453650011405554650010105668650009605769650011105865700007605976700007806052710003406130773002006164776003606184776003606220776003606256830004006292856004606332912001406378912001406392950005306406978-3-319-57532-2DE-He21320191022021643.0cr nn 008mamaa170615s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195753229978-3-319-57532-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-57532-22doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722314aThe Interconnected Arctic — UArctic Congress 2016h[electronic resource] /cedited by Kirsi Latola, Hannele Savela.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 311 p. 78 illus., 69 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Polar Sciences,x2510-04750 aPart I Vulnerability of the Arctic environments.

Particular emphasis has been given to technologies that are based on adsorption, electro-coagulation, bio-precipitation, bio-solubilization, phytoremediation and microbial electrolysis. Metal contamination in the environment is one of the persisting global issues. The adverse health effects of heavy metals on human beings and its impact on the environment has been well-documented. Several physico-chemical and biological technologies have been successfully implemented to prevent and control the discharge of industrial heavy metal emissions. On the contrary, metal resource depletion has also accelerated dramatically during the 20th century due to rapid advances in industrial engineering and medical sciences, which requires large amount of raw materials. To meet the global metal demand, in recent years, novel research lines have started to focus on the recovery of metals from metal contaminated waste streams. In order to conflate both metal removal and recovery, new technologies have been successfully tested, both at the lab and pilot-scale. The target audience of this book primarily comprises of research experts, practicing engineers in the field of environmental/chemical technology and graduate students. 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aWaste management.14aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1500024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U310011 aRene, Eldon R.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSahinkaya, Erkan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLewis, Alison.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLens, Piet N.L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331958621208iPrinted edition:z978331958623608iPrinted edition:z9783319864440 0aEnvironmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World,x2213-7114 ;v840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-58622-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05057nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245016200251250001800413264005700431300006700488336002600555337002600581338003600607347002400643490007500667505183900742520122102581650002103802650002303823650013603846650009203982700007704074700007404151710003404225773002004259776003604279776003604315776003604351830007504387856004604462912001404508950005304522978-4-431-56442-3DE-He21320191021202830.0cr nn 008mamaa161205s2017    ja |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97844315644239978-4-431-56442-37 a10.1007/978-4-431-56442-32doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aLand Use Management in Disaster Risk Reductionh[electronic resource] :bPractice and Cases from a Global Perspective /cedited by Michiko Banba, Rajib Shaw.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aTokyo :bSpringer Japan :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 476 p. 153 illus., 124 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,x2196-41060 aLand use Management in Disaster Risk Reduction: An Overview -- Land Use Management and Risk Communication -- Experiences of Japan in Post Hanshin Awaji Earthquake -- The Reconstruction of Bhuj - Reflecting on the Planning Process -- Land use management along fault line: experiences of New Zealand -- Experience from the United States: Post Katrina and Sandy -- Integrated land use planning in New Zealand and Canterbury earthquakes -- The rapid development of settlements in flood-prone areas in peri-urban Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: Monitoring and spatial analysis using VHR satellite imageries -- Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction into Land Use Planning: Experience of Bangladesh -- Flood Disasters and Land Use Planning in Swat Valley, Eastern Hindu Kush -- Guinsaugon, Leyte Landslide: Experience and Lessons in Land Use Policy -- Japan’s experiences of catastrophic mountain disasters in Wakayama -- Uttarakhand disaster and land use policy changes -- Climate change and its impacts on land use/cover change and food security in Nepal -- Post Morakot Land Use Implications for Taiwan -- The Indian Ocean tsunami and land use changes in Indonesia -- Land-use and land cover change analysis using multi-date multi-spectral satellite data: An integrated study of South Chennai in Tamil Nadu State, India -- The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami: Lessons for Land Use -- Land use change implications on Ba Ria Vung Tau province in Vietnam -- Land use change in Southwestern coastal Bangladesh-Consequence to Food and Water Supply -- Flood Disaster Mitigation Measures through Land Use Management in the UK and France -- River basin and land use lessons from Japan: Influences of Changes of Industrial Structure on Land Use of Nagara Basin and Flood Risk Control -- River basin and land use lessons from Bangkok, Thailand. .  aThis book provides a wide range of studies on methods of assessing natural disaster risks and reducing those risks in the context of land use. A major benefit of the book is that it presents extensive research and practices from interdisciplinary perspectives through case studies of land use management against various natural disasters. The natural hazards include earthquakes, tsunami, floods, and other disasters, with case studies ranging from urban areas to areas with natural environments such as mountains, coasts, and river systems. By quantitative and qualitative analysis, this work illustrates how interactions between natural and human environments create natural disasters, and how disaster risks can be managed or reduced through methods related to land use. This book also covers a variety of challenges in land use management with sample cases from Asia as well as the United States and Europe. The main purpose is to provide greater insight into studies of natural disaster risks from the perspective of land use and the possibility of non-engineering methods to reduce those risks. This goal can be achieved through management of land use against various natural hazards in diverse environments. . 0aUrban geography. 0aNatural disasters.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G320001 aBanba, Michiko.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aShaw, Rajib.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156440908iPrinted edition:z978443156441608iPrinted edition:z9784431567868 0aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,x2196-410640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56442-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04336nam a22006735i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242072001500258082001400273082001400287100007800301245026700379250001800646264007500664300006400739336002600803337002600829338003600855347002400891490005600915505046600971520068901437650002302126650001402149650001002163650002002173650001602193650002302209650010402232650011302336650009102449650008702540650009402627700007802721700008002799700008302879700007902962700009103041700007703132700008003209700007803289710003403367773002003401776003603421776003603457830005603493856004603549912001403595950005303609978-3-319-49376-3DE-He21320191025111653.0cr nn 008mamaa161227s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194937639978-3-319-49376-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-49376-32doi 4aQH541.5.W3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aPSAF2bicssc 7aSCI0200002bisacsh 7aPSAF2thema 7aPSP2thema04a577.622304a577.72231 aŻarski, Daniel.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aControlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perchh[electronic resource] :bA hatchery manual /cby Daniel Żarski, Ákos Horváth, Gergely Bernáth, Sławomir Krejszeff, János Radóczi, Katarzyna Palińska-Żarska, Zoltán Bokor, Krzysztof Kupren, Béla Urbányi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 102 p. 35 illus., 34 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-55470 a1.

of modeling, the natural and social sciences, and public participation. This book presents the current state of knowledge regarding the theory and practice of engaging stakeholders in environmental modeling for decision-making, and includes basic theoretical considerations, an overview of methods and tools available, and case study examples of these principles and methods in practice. Although there has been a significant increase in research and development regarding participatory modeling, a unifying text that provides an overview of the different methodologies available to scholars and a systematic review of case study applications has been largely unavailable. This edited volume seeks to address a gap in the literature and provide a primer that addresses the growing demand to adopt and apply a range of modeling methods that includes the public in environmental assessment and management. The book is divided into two main sections. The first part of the book covers basic considerations for including stakeholders in the modeling process and its intersection with the theory and practice of public participation in environmental decision-making. The second part of the book is devoted to specific applications and products of the various methods available through case study examination. This second part of the book also provides insight from several international experts currently working in the field about their approaches, types of interactions with stakeholders, models produced, and the challenges they perceived based on their practical experiences. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEcology . 0aClimate change. 0aStatistics . 0aSustainable development.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aTheoretical Ecology/Statistics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1914724aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1702024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aGray, Steven.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aPaolisso, Michael.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aJordan, Rebecca.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGray, Stefan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331925051908iPrinted edition:z978331925052608iPrinted edition:z978331979726740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-25053-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05287nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245027900254250001800533264006700551300006700618336002600685337002600711338003600737347002400773505047700797506001601274520287701290650003004167650002104197650001604218650010104234650010504335700007604440710003404516773002004550776003604570776003604606776003604642856004604678912001404724912001404738950005304752978-1-4939-3447-8DE-He21320191028131222.0cr nn 008mamaa170626s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97814939344789978-1-4939-3447-87 a10.1007/978-1-4939-3447-82doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aHabitats and Biota of the Gulf of Mexico: Before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spillh[electronic resource] :bVolume 1: Water Quality, Sediments, Sediment Contaminants, Oil and Gas Seeps, Coastal Habitats, Offshore Plankton and Benthos, and Shellfish /cedited by C.

The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. Nutrients and pollutants from coastal communities and dozens of rivers flow into the Gulf, including material from the Mississippi River watershed, which drains over one third of continental United States. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far from shore. Major accidental oil spills in the Gulf are infrequent; two of the most significant include the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. Unfortunately, baseline assessments of the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before these spills either were not available, or the data had not been systematically compiled in a way that would help scientists assess the potential short-term and long-term effects of such events. This 2-volume series compiles and summarizes thousands of data sets showing the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill that began on April 20, 2010. Volume 1 begins with an overview of the following 13 chapters and focuses on the big picture rather than the details of habitat quality and biota.  Volume 1 covers: • Water and sediment quality and contaminants, to provide perspective on environmental conditions in the Gulf. • Natural oil and gas seeps in the Gulf of Mexico, to identify natural sources of exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. • Coastal habitats, including flora and fauna and coastal geology. • Offshore benthos and plankton, with an analysis of current knowledge on energy capture and energy flows in the Gulf. • Shellfish and finfish resources that provide the basis for commercial and recreational fisheries. Volume 2 covers: • Historical data on commercial and recreational fisheries, with an analysis of marketing trends and drivers. • Ecology, populations and risks to birds, sea turtles and marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. • A final chapter extensively illustrated with original images on diseases and mortalities of fish and other animals that inhabit the Gulf of Mexico.  Chapters in these volumes have been peer reviewed by scientific experts in the subject areas covered.  Hopefully, the collection and analysis of such data for the Gulf of Mexico will be continued and sponsored by responsible federal and state agencies with the frequency needed to accurately assess potential damage to natural resources from ecologically harmful events that may occur in the future. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U360001 aWard, C.

It covers human health risks and established cases of human ailments and sheds light on prospective control measures, both biological and physico-chemical. Arsenic (As) is a widely distributed element in the environment having no known useful physiological function in plants or animals. Historically, this metalloid has been known to be used widely as a poison. Effects of arsenic have come to light in the past few decades due to its increasing contamination in several parts of world, with the worst situation being in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. The worrying issue is the ingestion of arsenic through water and food and associated health risks due to its carcinogenic and neurotoxic nature. The impact of the problem is widespread, and it has led to extensive research on finding both the causes and solutions. These attempts have allowed us to understand the various probable causes of arsenic contamination in the environment, and at the same time, have provided a number of possible solutions. It is reported that more than 200 mineral species contain As. Generally, As binds with iron and sulfur to form arsenopyrite. According to one estimate from the World Health Organization (WHO), contextual levels of As in soil ranges from 1 to 40 mg kg-1. Arsenic toxicity is related to its oxidation state which is present in the medium. As is a protoplastic toxin, due to its consequence on sulphydryl group it interferes in cell enzymes, cell respiration and in mitosis. Exposure of As may occur to humans via several industries, such as refining or smelting of metal ores, microelectronics, wood preservation, battery manufacturing, and also to those who work in power plants that burn arsenic-rich coal. 0aPollution. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnvironmental management.14aPollution, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3500024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aGupta, Dharmendra Kumar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aChatterjee, Soumya.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954354308iPrinted edition:z978331954355008iPrinted edition:z978331985377240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54356-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03946nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245011600261250001800377264007500395300006400470336002600534337002600560338003600586347002400622505089400646520086401540650002002404650002602424650002302450650002902473650009102502650011402593650009702707650009202804650010002896700008202996700007503078710003403153773002003187776003603207776003603243776003603279856004603315912001403361950005303375978-3-319-47594-3DE-He21320191023131108.0cr nn 008mamaa170220s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194759439978-3-319-47594-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-47594-32doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aHurricanes and Climate Changeh[electronic resource] :bVolume 3 /cedited by Jennifer M.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Changes in a Warmer Climate.  aThis book provides research that shows tropical cyclones are more powerful than in the past with the most dramatic increases occurring over the North Atlantic and with the strongest hurricanes. Although such increases are correlated with warming oceans and are consistent with the thermodynamic theory of hurricane intensity, there remains doubt about the interpretation, integrity, and meaning of these results. Arising from the 5th International Summit on Hurricanes and Climate Change, this book contains new research on topics related to hurricanes and climate change. Bringing together international leading academics and researchers on various sides of the debate, the book discusses new research and expresses opinions about what is happening and what might happen in the future with regard to regional and global hurricane (tropical cyclone) activity. 0aClimate change. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aNatural disasters. 0aEnvironmental economics.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480001 aCollins, Jennifer M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWalsh, Kevin.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331947592908iPrinted edition:z978331947593608iPrinted edition:z978331983776540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47594-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03299nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236100007700248245007700325250001800402264008200420300006700502336002600569337002600595338003600621347002400657490003600681505056000717520089301277650002302170650001602193650002602209650009402235650009502329650011802424710003402542773002002576776003602596776003602632830003602668856004602704912001402750950005302764978-3-662-53529-5DE-He21320191029011819.0cr nn 008mamaa161112s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625352959978-3-662-53529-57 a10.1007/978-3-662-53529-52doi 4aTN260 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a5532231 aYang, Shenglai.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFundamentals of Petrophysicsh[electronic resource] /cby Shenglai Yang.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVIII, 502 p. 281 illus., 8 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Mineralogy,x2366-15850 aChemical Composition and Properties of Reservoir Fluids -- Natural Gas Physical Properties under High Pressure -- Phase State of Reservoir Hydrocarbons and Gas-Liquid Equilibrium -- Physical Properties of Reservoir Fluids under Reservoir Conditions -- Porosity of Reservoir Porous Medium -- Permeability of Reservoir Rocks -- Other Physical Properties of Reservoir Rocks -- Interfacial Phenomena and Wettability of Reservoir Rocks -- Capillary Pressure and Capillary Pressure Curve -- Multiphase Flow through Porous Medium and Relative Permeability Curve.  aIn this book, the fundamental knowledge involved in petroleum & gas development engineering, such as physical and chemical phenomena, physical processes and the relationship between physical factors is covered.

Late Pleistocene and Holocene Glaciation.  aThis book gives the most detailed and comprehensive insights into the morphology, morphometry and dynamics of glaciers in the Georgian Caucasus region up to date. It examines the variability of valley glaciers after the Little Ice Age maximum and identifies glacial dynamics during historical periods. The reconstruction of glaciation in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene was conducted based on long lasting detailed glacial-geomorphological observations by the author. It further analyses moraine structures, river terraces, geodynamics of the relief,and snow and firn line locations derived from field surveys in most glacier basins in the southern and northern slopes of the Georgian Caucasus. A whole set of methodological approaches was applied including remote sensing and GIS, glacio-geomorphological, cartographical, aerial image processing and petrographic methods, unveiling accurate information about glaciers difficult to access, e.g., in the Abkhazeti and Tskhinvali regions. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change. 0aClimatology. 0aHydrology.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimatology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31100024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J190002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950570108iPrinted edition:z978331950572508iPrinted edition:z9783319844312 0aGeography of the Physical Environment,x2366-886540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50571-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04634nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001500242245010200257250001800359264005700377300006300434336002600497337002600523338003600549347002400585505118100609520160601790650001503396650002303411650002603434650003003460650009503490650011203585650010103697700007903798710003403877773002003911776003603931776003603967776003604003856004604039912001404085950005304099978-4-431-56490-4DE-He21320191220125645.0cr nn 008mamaa170324s2017    ja |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97844315649049978-4-431-56490-47 a10.1007/978-4-431-56490-42doi 4aTD172-193.5 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a363.7322310aEnvironmental Policy and Governance in Chinah[electronic resource] /cedited by Hideki Kitagawa.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aTokyo :bSpringer Japan :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 198 p. 5 illus., 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPreface -- List of Contributors -- Chapter1 Environmental policy under President Xi Jinping leadership: the changing environmental norms -- Chapter2 Evolution of Environmental Thought and the Enforcement of Environmental Protection Legislation in China: The Status Quo -- Chapter 3 Land contamination legislation in China: the Emerging Challenges -- Chapter4 Environmental Management System in China: the Target Achieving Process -- Chapter5 An Analysis of China Coal Resource Tax Reform and its Implications on Resource Saving -- Chapter 6 Environmental Litigation and External Influence from Outside the Court in the PRC: A Case Study of Zhang Changjian et al. v.

The authors accessed a great number of valuable sources not available in English, and interviewed various scholars and public officials, in order to analyze the environmental policies in China while comparing some of the features to Japan. The book stresses the importance of introducing a brand-new policy of central and local government, and analyses why these policies have not been executed effectively in the local society. In addition to the economy-oriented policy and spirit of the Chinese nation, which are the main causes, this book also highlights shortcomings in the inspection system, information management, and the extremely low degree of public participation as important aspects to focus on in order to tackle the current problems. The individual chapters will help readers to understand the environmental issues in China in depth, and provide guidance on resolving the issues in China and in developing countries that are now or soon will be facing the challenge of combining economic growth and environmental improvement. Air, water and soil pollution are serious challenges in China. The deterioration of the environment often leads to rioting that influences social stability, which is also a great concern to foreign investors. This book will be of interest to a professional audience such as policymakers, journalists, members of environmental NGOs, managers and employees who do business with China, as well as academic researchers and students. 0aPollution. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management.14aPollution, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3500024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aKitagawa, Hideki.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156488108iPrinted edition:z978443156489808iPrinted edition:z978443156801840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56490-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03139nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236100013200248245015000380250001800530264005700548300006400605336002600669337002600695338003600721347002400757505029100781520087701072650002801949650001201977650001601989650011402005650010002119650009802219650011302317710003402430773002002464776003602484776003602520856004602556912001402602950005302616978-4-431-56499-7DE-He21320191029001151.0cr nn 008mamaa170407s2017    ja |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97844315649979978-4-431-56499-77 a10.1007/978-4-431-56499-72doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a6282231 aInterdis.Grad Sch Engg Sci, Kyushu Univ., Dept.

It is intended for use by students, researchers, engineers, and specialists working not only in general fluid research but also in the atmospheric and oceanic research fields. The Earth is covered by atmosphere and oceans and is exposed to solar wind. Therefore, the knowledge of fluid dynamics is essential for tackling its environmental issues. Although many textbooks have treated fluid dynamics, practically no book has been published that clearly describes all essential ideas, from the fundamentals of fluid dynamics to advanced environmental sciences, with careful sequential explanations of the governing mathematics.

It was evident that the impacts from a nuclear power core-meltdown accident were immerse, irreversible, and inevitable, as evident by evaluating the three historic core-meltdown accidents, namely Three Mile Island in 1997, Chernobyl in 1986, and Fukushima Daiichi in 2011. The three options for minimizing the risks associated with NPPs are suggesting elimination of all NPPs in operation in the United States, transforming inevitable risks to evitable risks, and transforming the current radiological plan into an effective emergency management plan. Being the latter option is the only viable one, this book provides a comprehensive understanding on effectively managing nuclear power emergencies in the U.S. The book presents detailed analysis on effectively managing nuclear power emergencies. In an attempt to illustrate minimizing the risks, factual answers to the key questions surrounding managing nuclear disasters are outlined. What are the risks associated with the nuclear power plants (NPP)? What are the problems associated with managing nuclear power core-meltdown accidents in the three historic accidents? Where are the geographical locations of the 99 commercial reactors in the U.S? Who are those exposed to potential risks associated with the NPPs? How could a projection of radioactive plume dispersion pathway be carried out using a spatial computer code, such as the Radiological Assessment Systems for Consequence Analysis (RASCAL) in case of a core-meltdown accident? Where would the radioactive plume go given weather conditions? Who are more likely to be exposed to the high level radiation dose during the core-meltdown accident? What are the issues with the current radiological emergency plan? . 0aEnvironmental management. 0aChemistry. 0aQuality control. 0aReliability. 0aIndustrial safety. 0aNuclear energy.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aSafety in Chemistry, Dangerous Goods.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C2300424aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2203224aNuclear Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950342408iPrinted edition:z978331950344808iPrinted edition:z978331984376640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50343-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03724nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236100008100251245015400332250001800486264007500504300006200579336002600641337002600667338003600693347002400729490003800753505016800791520138100959650002102340650002302361650002502384650013602409650009402545650009602639700007902735700007902814710003402893773002002927776003602947776003602983776003603019830003803055856004603093912001403139950005303153978-3-319-55233-0DE-He21320191220131221.0cr nn 008mamaa170421s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195523309978-3-319-55233-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-55233-02doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.762231 aSchilleci, Filippo.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aConnected Landsh[electronic resource] :bNew Perspectives on Ecological Networks Planning /cby Filippo Schilleci, Vincenzo Todaro, Francesca Lotta.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 87 p. 13 illus., 12 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aUNIPA Springer Series,x2366-75160 aIntroduction -- New Perspectives on Ecological Networks -- Ecological networks and planning -- Ecological network, application of a model in Sicily -- Conclusions.  aThis book explores and outlines the reference theoretical basis of ecological networks within the international debate, focusing on how protected areas should no longer be considered as the sum of different components but rather as a network. The various European, transnational and national models of ecological networks/connections are analyzed on the basis of a detailed, updated study of relevant documents. The complex picture that emerges shows a wide range of reticular-ecological models within European plans and programs, but also many non-integrated experiences. The book subsequently examines the regulation of ecological networks/connections within planning instruments, explaining the critical points and referring to different ecological network models and specific local realities. Lastly, the book addresses two Italian case studies regarding the different normative and planning frameworks, both at a national and regional level, and demonstrating not only how ecological networks/connections can be structured within plans, but also how these networks/connections represent the core element of territory development and preservation. As such, it provides an essential tool for containing habitat fragmentation, offering a new perspective that integrates theoretical approaches and methods with planning models and the lessons learned from local applications. 0aUrban geography. 0aLandscape ecology. 0aNature conservation.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aLandscape Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1905824aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U260081 aTodaro, Vincenzo.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aLotta, Francesca.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955232308iPrinted edition:z978331955234708iPrinted edition:z9783319856025 0aUNIPA Springer Series,x2366-751640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55233-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07149nam a22008295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001100172072001500183072002300198072001400221082001200235100007600247245042700323250001800750264006500768300006700833336002600900337002600926338003600952347002400988490003501012505042501047520216401472650001503636650001703651650002103668650002003689650001503709650009503724650009703819650009203916650011404008650010204122700007504224700007104299700007604370700007604446700007104522700007304593700007304666700007404739700007404813700007504887700007504962700007205037700007605109700007605185700007205261700007305333700007605406700007405482700007505556700007705631700007605708700007805784700007305862700007405935710003406009773002006043776003606063776003606099776003606135830003506171856004606206912001406252950005306266978-981-10-1884-8DE-He21320191027162119.0cr nn 008mamaa160728s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110188489978-981-10-1884-87 a10.1007/978-981-10-1884-82doi 4aG1-922 7aRG2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRG2thema04a9102231 aLeng, Shuying.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Geographical Sciences During 1986—2015h[electronic resource] :bFrom the Classics To the Frontiers /cby Shuying Leng, Xizhang Gao, Tao Pei, Guoyou Zhang, Liangfu Chen, Xi Chen, Canfei He, Daming He, Xiaoyan Li, Chunye Lin, Hongyan Liu, Weidong Liu, Yihe Lü, Shilong Piao, Qiuhong Tang, Fulu Tao, Lide Tian, Xiaohua Tong, Cunde Xiao, Desheng Xue, Linsheng Yang, Linwang Yuan, Yuanming Zheng, Huiyi Zhu, Liping Zhu.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aLII, 596 p. 211 illus., 209 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction: Interpreting the Geographical Sciences from a Perspective of Bibliometric Analysis -- Chapter 1 An Overview of Development in the Geographical Sciences -- Chapter 2 Trends in the Development of the Four Branches of the Geographical Sciences -- Chapter 3 Strategic Research Issues on the Geographical Sciences -- Chapter 4 A Review and Outlook of Research Fields on the Geographical Sciences Regarding NSFC.  aIn four chapters and an introduction, this book systematically helps readers understand the development of the Geographical Sciences both in China and in the world during the past 30 years. Through data analysis of methodologies including CiteSpace, TDA, qualitative analysis, questionnaires, data mining and mathematical statistics, the book explains the evolution of research topics and their driving factors in the Geographical Sciences and its four branches, namely Physical Geography, Human Geography, Geographical Information Science and Environmental Geography. It also identifies the role of the Geographical Sciences in the analysis of strategic issues such as global change and terrestrial ecosystems, terrestrial water cycle and water resources, land change, global cryosphere evolution and land surface processes on the Tibetan Plateau, economic globalization and local responses, regional sustainable development, remote sensing modelling and parameter inversion, spatial analysis and simulation, and tempo-spatial processes and modelling of environmental pollutants. It then discusses research development and inadequacy of Chinese Geographical Sciences in the above-mentioned topics, as well as in the fields including Geomorphology and Quaternary environmental change, Ecohydrology, ecosystem services, the urbanization process and mechanism, medical and health geography, international rivers and transboundary environment and resources, detection and attribution of changes in land surface sensitive components, and uncertainty of spatial information and spatial analysis. It shows that the NSFC has driven the development in all these topics and fields. In addition, the book summarises trends of the Geographical Sciences in China and the research level in major countries of the world through an overview of geographical education in colleges and universities, the analysis of publications, citations and author networks of SCI/SSCI and CSCD indexed articles, and the description of Sino-USA, Sino-UK and Sino-German cooperation. This book serves as an important reference to anyone interested in geographical sciences and related fields. 0aGeography. 0aEnvironment. 0aHuman geography. 0aClimate change. 0aHydrology.14aGeography,

current, climate-change research projects at universities around the globe, offering perspectives from all of the natural and social sciences. Numerous universities worldwide pursue state-of-the-art research on climate change, focussing on mitigation of its effects as well as human adaptation to it. However, the 2015 Paris 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (COP 21)” demonstrated that there is still much room for improvement in the role played by universities in international negotiations and decision-making on climate change. To date, few scientific meetings have provided multidisciplinary perspectives on climate change in which researchers across the natural and social sciences could come together to exchange research findings and discuss methods relating to climate change mitigation and adaption studies. As a result the published literature has also lacked a broad perspective. This book fills that gap and is of interest to all researchers and policy-makers concerned with global climate change regardless of their area of expertise. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aEnvironmental education. 0aWater. 0aEnergy.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O4800024aWater, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/20000024aEnergy, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1000001 aLeal Filho, Walter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331958213908iPrinted edition:z978331958215308iPrinted edition:z978331986351140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-58214-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04406nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100008800266245015000354250001800504264007500522300007000597336002600667337002600693338003600719347002400755505116500779520101301944650002902957650002102986650001503007650003203022650002503054650010003079650013603179650008403315650012603399700007603525710003403601773002003635776003603655776003603691776003603727856004603763912001403809950005303823978-3-319-39865-5DE-He21320191022032605.0cr nn 008mamaa161005s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193986559978-3-319-39865-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-39865-52doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aRauscher, Raymond Charles.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aCities in Global Transitionh[electronic resource] :bCreating Sustainable Communities in Australia /cby Raymond Charles Rauscher, Salim Momtaz.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXVII, 355 p. 156 illus., 126 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart 1.

The focus is on metropolitan districts (groups of municipalities) within the Greater Sydney region. The subjects of global transition and sustainable urban planning (SUP) are introduced in Chapter 1. How Greater Sydney approaches planning of its region and its districts is then outlined in Chapter 2. In this chapter, three case study districts are selected for critiquing planning in the face of population and new development changes. The districts, beyond the City of Sydney, are: Sydney Inner West, Greater Parramatta and St George. The book further outlines a methodology to assess planning practices within each of the municipalities (twelve case study municipalities in all within the three districts). Included here are State planning principles applying to Greater Sydney, with key principals selected to apply to the case study municipalities and to each district as a unit. 0aSustainable development. 0aUrban geography. 0aEcology . 0aTransportation engineering. 0aTraffic engineering.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T231201 aMomtaz, Salim.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331939864808iPrinted edition:z978331939866208iPrinted edition:z978331981982240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-39865-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03706nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100008100266245011000347250001800457264006500475300006200540336002600602337002600628338003600654347002400690490008000714505038400794520107801178650002902256650002402285650002702309650002302336650001402359650010002373650009502473650009802568650009402666650008502760710003402845773002002879776003602899776003602935830008002971856004603051912001403097950005303111978-981-10-3051-2DE-He21320191023161956.0cr nn 008mamaa170102s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110305129978-981-10-3051-27 a10.1007/978-981-10-3051-22doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aDutta, Mohan Jyoti.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aImagining India in Discourseh[electronic resource] :bMeaning, Power, Structure /cby Mohan Jyoti Dutta.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 215 p. 6 illus., 5 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v140 a1.Imagining India in Discourse -- 2.Discourses of Liberalization:Framing economics -- 3.Innovation, Technology, and Development -- 4.Food, Health, Shelter, and Nutrition: Public Provisions and Private Industry -- 5.State, Bureaucracy, and Politics: Contradictions in Interpretation -- 6.Culture and Communication: Old and New.-7.The Poor, the Rural and the Margins -- 8.Epilogue.  aThe economic liberalization of India, changes in global structures, and the rapid emergence of India on the global landscape have been accompanied by the dramatic rise in popular, public, and elite discourses that offer the promise to imagine India. Written mostly in the future tense, these discourses conceive of India through specific frames of global change and simultaneously offer prescriptive suggestions for the pathways to fulfilling the vision.  Both as summary accounts of the shifts taking place in India and in the relationships of India with other global actors as well as roadmaps for the immediate and longer term directions for India, these discourses offer meaningful entry points into elite imaginations of India. Engaging these imaginations creates a framework for understanding the tropes that are mobilized in support of specific policy formulations in economic, political, cultural, and social spheres.  Connecting meanings within networks of power and structure help make sense of the symbolic articulations of India within material relationships. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic geography. 0aDevelopment economics. 0aCultural heritage. 0aLiteracy.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aDevelopment Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4200024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41900024aLiteracy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O400002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103049908iPrinted edition:z9789811030505 0aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v1440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3051-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03718nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245017800261250001800439264007500457300006400532336002600596337002600622338003600648347002400684490004200708505049000750520080101240650002002041650005102061650002302112650003502135650009102170650011302261650011102374650011402485650010102599700008102700700007802781710003402859773002002893776003602913776003602949776003602985830004203021856004603063912001403109950005303123978-3-319-53742-9DE-He21320191021223250.0cr nn 008mamaa170527s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195374299978-3-319-53742-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-53742-92doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aClimate Change Adaptation in North Americah[electronic resource] :bFostering Resilience and the Regional Capacity to Adapt /cedited by Walter Leal Filho, Jesse M.

The author explores the several effects of urban morphology via housing market over two distinct contexts: UK and China. This work will appeal to a wide readership from scholars and practitioner to policy makers within the fields of real estate analysis, urban and regional studies, urban planning, urban design and economic geography. . 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aHuman geography. 0aRegional economics. 0aSpatial economics.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aRegional/Spatial Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W490002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102761108iPrinted edition:z978981102763508iPrinted edition:z9789811096990 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2762-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03975nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100007600254245017800330250001800508264007500526300006500601336002600666337002600692338003600718347002400754490008400778505014700862520120701009650001702216650001602233650002002249650003202269650003002301650001502331650001802346650008802364650011302452650016402565650011502729650008602844650010802930710003403038773002003072776003603092776003603128776003603164830008403200856004603284912001403330950005303344978-3-319-40490-5DE-He21320191023151033.0cr nn 008mamaa161101s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194049059978-3-319-40490-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-40490-52doi 4aQB600-701 7aPGS2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aPGS2thema04a523.42231 aSharma, Ishan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aShapes and Dynamics of Granular Minor Planetsh[electronic resource] :bThe Dynamics of Deformable Bodies Applied to Granular Objects in the Solar System /cby Ishan Sharma.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXX, 354 p. 116 illus., 25 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics,x1866-83480 aPreface -- Mathematical preliminaries -- Continuum mechanics -- Affine dynamics -- Asteroids -- Satellites -- Binaries -- Granular materials.  aThis book develops a general approach that can be systematically refined to investigate the statics and dynamics of deformable solid bodies. These methods are then employed to small bodies in the Solar System. With several space missions underway and more being planned, interest in our immediate neighbourhood is growing. In this spirit, this book investigates various phenomena encountered in planetary science, including disruptions during planetary fly-bys, equilibrium shapes and stability of small rubble bodies, and spin-driven shape changes. The flexible procedure proposed here will help readers gain valuable insights into the mechanics of solar system bodies, while at the same time complementing numerical investigations. The technique itself is built upon the virial method successfully employed by Chandrasekhar (1969) to study the equilibrium shapes of spinning fluid objects. However, here Chandrasekhar’s approach is modified in order to study more complex dynamical situations and include objects of different rheologies, e.g., granular aggregates, or “rubble piles”. The book is largely self-contained, though some basic familiarity with continuum mechanics will be beneficial. 0aPlanetology. 0aGeophysics. 0aSpace sciences. 0aObservations, Astronomical. 0aAstronomy—Observations. 0aCosmology. 0aAstrophysics.14aPlanetology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1801024aGeophysics and Environmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3200024aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2203024aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2201424aCosmology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2204924aAstrophysics and Astroparticles.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P220222 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940489908iPrinted edition:z978331940491208iPrinted edition:z9783319821160 0aAdvances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics,x1866-834840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40490-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04511nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245010000257250001800357264005700375300006500432336002600497337002600523338003600549347002400585505136400609520120201973650001903175650001903194650001203213650001703225650001403242650013303256650009103389650008803480650008503568700007703653710003403730773002003764776003603784776003603820776003603856856004603892912001403938950005303952978-4-431-56438-6DE-He21320191028162218.0cr nn 008mamaa170213s2017    ja |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97844315643869978-4-431-56438-67 a10.1007/978-4-431-56438-62doi 4aTD881-890 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a363.739222310aAir Pollution Impacts on Plants in East Asiah[electronic resource] /cedited by Takeshi Izuta.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aTokyo :bSpringer Japan :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 322 p. 108 illus., 26 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart-1:Air Pollution in East Asia -- Gaseous species -- Aerosols -- Acid deposition  -- Part-2: Effects of Gaseous Air Pollutants on Plants in Japan -- Effects of ozone on Japanese crops -- Effects of ozone on Japanese trees -- Combined effects of ozone and other environmental factors on Japanese trees -- Environmental monitoring with indicator plants for Air pollutants in Asia -- Part-3: Case Studies in Japanese Forests -- Flux-based ozone risk assessment for Japanese temperate forests -- Tree decline at somma of Lake Mashu in northern Japan -- Decline of Fagus crenata in Tanzawa Mountains, Japan  -- Reactions between ozone and terpenoids within a forest of Mt.

It is the first work to study all regimes of stratified turbulence in a unified simulation framework without a break in the paradigms for representation of turbulence. To date, advances in our understanding and the parameterization of turbulence in the stable boundary layer have been hampered by difficulties simulating the strongly stratified regime, and the analysis has primarily been based on field measurements. The content presented here changes that paradigm by demonstrating the ability of direct numerical simulation to address this problem, and by doing so to remove the uncertainty of turbulence models from the analysis. Employing a stably stratified Ekman layer as a simplified physical model of the stable boundary layer, the three stratification regimes observed in nature— weakly, intermediately and strongly stratified—are reproduced, and the data is subsequently used to answer key, long-standing questions. The main part of the book is organized in three sections, namely a comprehensive introduction, numerics, and physics. The thesis ends with a clear and concise conclusion that distills specific implications for the study of the stable boundary layer. This structure emphasizes the physical results, but at the same time gives relevance to the technical aspects of numerical schemes and post-processing tools. The selection of the relevant literature during the introduction, and its use along the work appropriately combines literature from two research communities: fluid dynamics, and boundary-layer meteorology. . 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aMeteorology. 0aFluids. 0aPhysics.14aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31200024aFluid- and Aerodynamics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2102624aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P190212 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945043808iPrinted edition:z978331945045208iPrinted edition:z9783319831954 0aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-505340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45044-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03880nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001500242245010000257250001800357264007500375300006700450336002600517337002600543338003600569347002400605490005000629505070100679520142101380650001902801650001302820650009002833650008402923700007803007710003403085773002003119776003603139776003603175776003603211830005003247856004603297912001403343950005303357978-3-319-44595-3DE-He21320191024232930.0cr nn 008mamaa161201s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194459539978-3-319-44595-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-44595-32doi 4aGB400-649 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.4122310aLandscapes and Landforms of Western Canada h[electronic resource] /cedited by Olav Slaymaker.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 435 p. 312 illus., 276 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,x2213-20900 aForeword -- Preface -- Introduction: Definition of western Canada -- Part I Introductory by Olav Slaymaker -- Structural and lithologic context -- Long-term geomorphological history -- Cordilleran and Laurentide Ice Sheets -- Contemporary geomorphological processes -- Hydroclimate and runoff -- The human footprint -- Part II Structural -- High mountains -- Glaciers -- Glacial landforms -- Periglacial geomorphology -- Big Rivers -- Large lakes -- The Two Coasts (Pacific and Arctic) -- Human Footprint -- Part III Protection of geomorphological heritage by Olav Slaymaker -- World heritage sites -- Provincial and National Parks -- Geotourism -- Index: by subject and location -- Bibliography.  aThis is the only book to focus on the geomorphological landscapes of Canada West. It outlines the little-appreciated diversity of Canada’s landscapes, and the nature of the geomorphological landscape, which deserves wider publicity. Three of the most important geomorphological facts related to Canada are that 90% of its total area emerged from ice-sheet cover relatively recently, from a geological perspective; permafrost underlies 50% of its landmass and the country enjoys the benefits of having three oceans as its borders: the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Canada West is a land of extreme contrasts — from the rugged Cordillera to the wide open spaces of the Prairies; from the humid west-coast forests to the semi-desert in the interior of British Columbia and from the vast Mackenzie river system of the to small, steep, cascading streams on Vancouver Island. The thickest Canadian permafrost is found in the Yukon and extensive areas of the Cordillera are underlain by sporadic permafrost side-by-side with the never-glaciated plateaus of the Yukon. One of the curiosities of Canada West is the presence of volcanic landforms, extruded through the ice cover of the late Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, which have also left a strong imprint on the landscape. The Mackenzie and Fraser deltas provide the contrast of large river deltas, debouching respectively into the Arctic and Pacific oceans. 0aGeomorphology. 0aGeology.14aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170021 aSlaymaker, Olav.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331944593908iPrinted edition:z978331944594608iPrinted edition:z9783319830896 0aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,x2213-209040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44595-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03460nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242082001400258245019800272250001800470264007500488300006800563336002600631337002600657338003600683347002400719505027500743506001601018520073401034650002101768650001601789650002301805650001401828650002401842650000901866650003001875650010501905650009702010650010902107650008902216650012302305700007502428700007802503710003402581773002002615776003602635776003602671776003602707856004602743912001402789912001402803950005302817978-3-319-51159-7DE-He21320191021231745.0cr nn 008mamaa170406s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195115979978-3-319-51159-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-51159-72doi 4aQH541.5.S3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aRBKF2bicssc 7aSCI0390002bisacsh 7aRBKF2thema04a551.422310aAquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Oceanh[electronic resource] :bThe Untapped Potential for Marine Resources in the Anthropocene /cedited by Bela H.

It offers a unique overview of what universities around the world are doing to implement sustainable development (i.e. via curriculum innovation, research, activities, or practical projects) and how their efforts relate to education for sustainable development at the university level. The Handbook gathers a wealth of information, ideas, best practices and lessons learned in the context of executing concrete projects, and assesses methodological approaches to integrating the topic of sustainable development in university curricula. Lastly, it documents and disseminates the veritable treasure trove of practical experience currently available on sustainability in higher education. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHigher education. 0aSchool management and organization. 0aSchool administration.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aHigher Education.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O3600024aAdministration, Organization and Leadership.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O170001 aLeal Filho, Walter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMifsud, Mark.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aShiel, Chris.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aPretorius, Rudi.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331947894408iPrinted edition:z978331947896808iPrinted edition:z9783319838526 0aWorld Sustainability Series,x2199-737340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47895-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04451nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245012100251250001800372264007500390300006400465336002600529337002600555338003600581347002400617490003800641505153900679520083102218650002103049650002903070650003403099650013603133650010003269650010603369700008203475700007503557710003403632773002003666776003603686776003603722776003603758830003803794856004603832912001403878950005303892978-3-319-43979-2DE-He21320191022021601.0cr nn 008mamaa161004s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194397929978-3-319-43979-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-43979-22doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aLocal Government and Urban Governance in Europeh[electronic resource] /cedited by Carlos Nunes Silva, Ján Buček.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 265 p. 30 illus., 22 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X0 aLocal Government And Urban Governance in Europe: An Overview -- Four Decades of Democratic Local Self-Government in Portugal.-Long-Term View on Local Self-Government Development in Slovakia After 1989  -- Hungarian Local Self-Governments after the Crises -- Recent Local Government Innovation in Italy And Impact on Urban Design and Regional Planning.

It examines the impact of European Union’s policies on the urban agenda and on local governance, and the impact of the transition to democracy in Central and in Southern Europe on local self-government systems. The book is divided into three parts: i) Crisis, Reform and Innovation in Local Government; ii) EU Policies, the Urban Agenda and Local Governance; and iii) Citizen Participation in Local Government. Providing an extensive and updated overview of key challenges in the governance of cities in Europe, the book will be of interest to students and researchers in the broader field of urban studies, and for policy-makers, especially those engaged in urban governance in European countries. . 0aUrban geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aCulture—Study and teaching.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aRegional and Cultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4110001 aNunes Silva, Carlos.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBuček, Ján.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943978508iPrinted edition:z978331943980808iPrinted edition:z9783319829548 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43979-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03342nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224072001600239082001600255082001400271100007200285245014200357250001800499264006500517300006600582336002600648337002600674338003600700347002400736490007200760505037100832520071201203650002201915650002801937650003201965650002901997650011002026650011402136650010302250650010002353710003402453773002002487776003602507776003602543776003602579830007202615856004602687912001402733950005302747978-981-10-3827-3DE-He21320191021161659.0cr nn 008mamaa170221s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110382739978-981-10-3827-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-3827-32doi 4aTD1-1066 7aRNH2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNH2thema 7aTQSR2thema04a363.72822304a628.42231 aZhou, Hui.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aCombustible Solid Waste Thermochemical Conversionh[electronic resource] :bA Study of Interactions and Influence Factors /cby Hui Zhou.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXX, 172 p. 147 illus., 98 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-50530 aIntroduction -- Research Methods -- Pyrolysis Characteristics of Model Components -- Influential Factors of Thermochemical Conversion Characteristics of Model Components -- Effect of Interactions of Model Components on Pyrolysis Characteristics -- Conclusions and Outlook -- References -- Appendix A Index of Figures -- Appendix B Index of Tables -- Acknowledgement.  aThis book is written by Dr. Hui Zhou as a Ph.D. dissertation in Tsinghua University, China.

The traces described here, mostly nests and pupation chambers, include one of the most complex architectures produced by animals. Chapters explore the walls, shapes and fillings of trace fossils followed by their classifications and ichnotaxonomy. Detailed descriptions and interpretations for different groups of insects like bees, ants, termites, dung beetles and wasps are also provided. Chapters also highlight the the paleoenvironmental significance of insect trace fossils in paleosols for paleontological reconstructions, sedimentological interpretation, and ichnofabrics analysis. Readers will discover how insect trace fossils act as physical evidence for reconstructing the evolution of behavior, phylogenies, past geographical distributions, and to know how insects achieved some of the more complex architectures. The book will appeal to researchers and graduate students in ichnology, sedimentology, paleopedology, and entomology and readers interested in insect architecture. 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology. 0aEntomology. 0aPaleontology . 0aEvolutionary biology. 0aSedimentology.14aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2100624aEntomology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2509024aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aEvolutionary Biology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2100124aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170802 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331928208408iPrinted edition:z978331928209108iPrinted edition:z9783319802985 0aTopics in Geobiology,x0275-0120 ;v3740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-28210-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03534nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001200239100007600251245016200327250001800489264007500507300005200582336002600634337002600660338003600686347002400722490007900746505031600825520135901141650002902500650002902529650010002558650010002658710003402758773002002792776003602812776003602848830007902884856004602963912001403009950005303023978-3-319-46305-6DE-He21320190909141839.0cr nn 008mamaa161125s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194630569978-3-319-46305-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-46305-62doi 4aJZ2-6530 7aJPS2bicssc 7aPOL0110002bisacsh 7aJPS2thema04a3272231 aCurran, David.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMore than Fighting for Peace?h[electronic resource] :bConflict Resolution, UN Peacekeeping, and the Role of Training Military Personnel /cby David Curran.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 150 p. 6 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v80 a1.Introduction -- 2. Peacekeeping, Conflict Resolution, and the Role of Training -- 3. The Development of Training Structures in the United Nations -- 4. Negotiation Training for Military Peacekeepers -- 5. Civil Military Relations -- 6. Towards the Military Conflict Resolution Practitioner? -- 7.Conclusion. .  aThis book provides a contemporary account of the linkages between the academic field of conflict resolution and the practice of military peacekeeping, through the lens of pre-deployment training for military personnel about to embark on UN peacekeeping operations. Military personnel serving on United Nations peacekeeping operations are deployed into highly challenging post-conflict environments, where the likelihood of violence remains high. Moreover, these personnel are deployed part of a wider peace process, and are thus situated as an anchor point in a transition from war to peace. This dimension of their work therefore means that a range of skills and techniques are relied upon, which come not from traditional military training, but from other, non-traditional fields. It is into this gap where the academic field of conflict resolution has made a valuable contribution to understanding international peacekeeping. Since the 1970’s, studies have sought to understand international peacekeeping as a necessary stage in conflict de-escalation, and ultimately transformation. From this, there is a history of engagement including studies which seek to understand the skills peacekeepers may need to assist them in their day to day activities, and the role that international peacekeeping plays in wider projects of conflict transformation. . 0aInternational relations. 0aPolitical communication.14aInternational Relations.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91200024aPolitical Communication.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9110302 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946303208iPrinted edition:z9783319463049 0aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46305-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04949nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242082001400258245014900272250001800421264006700439300006800506336002600574337002600600338003600626347002400662505097400686520157801660650002103238650001603259650002303275650001803298650001603316650003103332650010503363650010403468650008903572650008703661650010703748700009003855700008003945700008304025710003404108773002004142776003604162776003604198776003604234856004604270912001404316950005304330978-94-007-0668-2DE-He21320191023201059.0cr nn 008mamaa170404s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894007066829978-94-007-0668-27 a10.1007/978-94-007-0668-22doi 4aQH541.5.S3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aRBKF2bicssc 7aSCI0390002bisacsh 7aRBKF2thema04a551.422310aBiological Oceanography of the Baltic Seah[electronic resource] /cedited by Pauline Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, Hendrik Schubert, Teresa Radziejewska.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXI, 683 p. 430 illus., 422 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPART I: The Baltic Sea environment -- Chapter 1: Brackish water as an environment -- Chapter 2: Why is the Baltic Sea so special to live in? -- PART II: Ecological processes in the Baltic Sea -- Chapter 3: Biogeochemical cycles -- Chapter 4: Patterns of biodiversity -- Chapter 5: Biological invasions -- Chapter 6: Genetic diversity and evolution -- Chapter 7: Physiological adaptations -- PART III: Subsystems of the Baltic Sea ecosystem -- Chapter 8: The pelagic food web -- Chapter 9: Life associated with Baltic Sea ice -- Chapter 10: Deep soft seabeds -- Chapter 11: The phytobenthic zone -- Chapter 12: Sandy coasts -- Chapter 13: Estuaries and coastal lagoons -- PART IV: Monitoring and ecosystem-based management of the Baltic Sea -- Chapter 14: Biological indicators -- Chapter 15: Bio-optical water quality assessment -- Chapter 16: Chemical pollution and ecotoxicology -- Chapter 17: Ecosystem health -- Chapter 18: Ecosystem goods, services and management.  aThis is the first comprehensive science-based textbook on the biology and ecology of the Baltic Sea, one of the world’s largest brackish water bodies. The aim of this book is to provide students and other readers with knowledge about the conditions for life in brackish water, the functioning of the Baltic Sea ecosystem and its environmental problems and management. It highlights biological variation along the unique environmental gradients of the brackish Baltic Sea Area (the Baltic Sea, Belt Sea and Kattegat), especially those in salinity and climate. The first part of the book presents the challenges for life processes and ecosystem dynamics that result from the Baltic Sea’s highly variable recent geological history and geographical isolation. The second part explains interactions between organisms and their environment, including biogeochemical cycles, patterns of biodiversity, genetic diversity and evolution, biological invasions and physiological adaptations. In the third part, the subsystems of the Baltic Sea ecosystem – the pelagic zone, the sea ice, the deep soft sea beds, the phytobenthic zone, the sandy coasts, and estuaries and coastal lagoons – are treated in detail with respect to the structure and function of communities and habitats and consequences of natural and anthropogenic constraints, such as climate change, discharges of nutrients and hazardous substances. Finally, the fourth part of the book discusses monitoring and ecosystem-based management to deal with contemporary and emerging threats to the ecosystem’s health. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater. 0aAquatic ecology . 0aBiodiversity. 0aEcosystems. 0aCommunity ecology, Biotic.14aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3600024aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1906624aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1903124aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aCommunity & Population Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L191201 aSnoeijs-Leijonmalm, Pauline.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSchubert, Hendrik.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRadziejewska, Teresa.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940070667508iPrinted edition:z978940070669908iPrinted edition:z978940241317540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-0668-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)08172nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245017700254250001800431264007500449300006800524336002600592337002600618338003600644347002400680505377200704506001604476520221204492650002306704650002506727650002706752650001706779650001606796650002906812650009206841650011606933650010007049700007507149700007807224700007507302710003407377773002007411776003607431776003607467856004607503912001407549912001407563950005307577978-3-319-59469-9DE-He21320191027222137.0cr nn 008mamaa170516s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195946999978-3-319-59469-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-59469-92doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a55122310aAdvancing Culture of Living with Landslidesh[electronic resource] :bVolume 1 ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025 /cedited by Kyoji Sassa, Matjaž Mikoš, Yueping Yin.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVI, 586 p. 372 illus., 350 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025 -- The ISDR-ICL Sendai Partnerships 2015-2025: Background and Content -- Forum lectures  -- Rupestrian world heritage sites: Instability investigation and sustainable mitigation -- Subaerial landslide-generated waves: Numerical and laboratory simulations -- Rockfall occurrence and fragmentation -- Contribution from signatory organizations of the Sendai Partnerships -- International Consortium on Landslides (ICL)  -- International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) - The proposing organization of the ISDR-ICL Sendai partnerships 2015-2025 -- United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) -- UNISDR‘s Contribution to Science and Technology for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Role of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) -- United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) -- UNESCO’s Contribution to the Implementation of UNISDR’s Global Initiative and ICL -- United Nations University (UNU) -- The United Nations University: Research and Policy Support for Environmental Risk Reduction -- World Meteorological Organization (WMO) -- Concerted International Efforts for Advancing Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems -- International Council for Science (ICSU) -- On Future Challenges for the Integration of Science into International Policy Development for Landslide Disaster Risk Reduction -- World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) -- World Federation of Engineering Organizations Activities in Disaster Risk Reduction -- Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University -- National Civil Protection Department, Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Government of Italy -- Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk: Challenges and Opportunities for Italian Civil Protection -- Landslide Dynamics: ISDR-ICL Landslide Interactive Teaching Tools (LITT) -- Progress of the World Report on Landslides -- International Programme on Landslides (IPL): Objectives, History and List of World Centres of Excellence and IPL Projects -- UNESCO-KU-ICL UNITWIN Cooperation Programme for Landslides and Water-Related Disaster Risk Management.

AMD and a Sustainable Future for South Africa?. .  aThis SpringerBrief focuses on Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the three basins in the Witwatersrand, South Africa. It provides a background to AMD and its impactsfrom a social science perspective.The South African government and non-governmental organizations’ response to AMD is assessed, as well the socio-economic and developmental effects of AMD. This volume, which is based on the author’s Master’s dissertation at UNISA, involves interviews with a range of experts in the field from government departments, environmental organisations (activists), the private sector (mining), tourism sector and the agricultural sector. The book discusses existing policy documents on AMD and provides recommendations in response to the many socio-economic impacts which have not been fully addressed. A literature review on the global context of AMD is provided. South Africa’s water systems are already severely harmed by climate change, different forms of pollution, and poorly managed sanitation systems. For these reasons, the country is becoming increasingly water-stressed and therefore, water will continue to become much scarcer in the future. As a result of AMD’s continued impact on South Africa’s water systems, as a technical or scientific matter as well as the policy implications for the mining sector, water security and socio-economic sustainability has become a highly contested issue. 0aWater pollution. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental sociology. 0aEconomic development.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2216024aDevelopment Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331944434508iPrinted edition:z9783319444369 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44435-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03807nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236100007800248245013300326250001800459264007500477300005200552336002600604337002600630338003600656347002400692490005600716520150300772650002802275650002602303650002102329650001702350650002302367650001802390650002302408650011402431650009702545650012202642650011202764650009402876710003402970773002003004776003603024776003603060830005603096856004603152912001403198950005303212978-3-319-56859-1DE-He21320191022131203.0cr nn 008mamaa170515s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195685919978-3-319-56859-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-56859-12doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a6282231 aJha, Ajay Kumar.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSelection of Main Mechanical Ventilators for Underground Coal Minesh[electronic resource] :bA Case Study /cby Ajay Kumar Jha.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 88 p. 21 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-5547  aThis book provides information on proper underground mine ventilation in order to detail its importance in maintaining safe, productive, healthy and effective underground environments at all times for employees. The text covers correct design, implementation and maintenance of mine ventilation through suitable fan installation, and keeps in mind the economic requirements of undertaking safe procedures and implementations to ensure that ventilation is optimal. Through three main goals, the book addresses the need for proper fan ventilation in the potentially hazardous conditions of an underground mine. The first goal is to summarize and update the technical information on the strategic importance of selecting suitable techno-commercial main mechanical ventilators for a coal mine. The second goal is to provide a user friendly computer program to help any practicing engineers, mine operators, regulators and researchers in choosing the main mechanical ventilators. Factors in this selection process include environmental requirements, regulatory conditions, occupational health related issues, and cost. The third goal is to provide applications for computer programs meant to determine proper selection and implementation of the main mechanical ventilators. The text is geared towards teachers, researchers, policy makers, environmental organizations and mine operators who wish to teach about or implement the best possible ventilation systems for the health and safety of mine workers. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aQuality control. 0aReliability. 0aIndustrial safety. 0aFossil fuels. 0aMineral resources.14aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aQuality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2203224aFossil Fuels (incl.

Wastewaters from diverse industrial and mining activities have caused pollution problems, but these sectors also serve as a hotspot for metal recovery. Several metal removal technologies based on physical, chemical and biological processes have been successfully implemented in full-scale operation, while metal recovery, which is beneficial for economic and environmental reasons, is still limited due to challenges arising from downstream processing. For instance, microbial recovery (bioleaching) of metals from their ores is an established technology with a number of full-scale applications. Bioleaching of electronic wastes to recover metals is also a highly promising technology with low environmental impact and high cost-effectiveness; yet, this technology is still at its infancy. As the individual chapters of this book focuses on the applications and limitations of different technologies, this book will serve as an excellent resource for chemical engineers, environmental engineers, mining engineers, biotechnologists, graduate students and researchers in these areas. . 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aWaste management.14aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1500024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U310011 aRene, Eldon R.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSahinkaya, Erkan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLewis, Alison.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLens, Piet N.L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331961145708iPrinted edition:z978331961147108iPrinted edition:z9783319870151 0aEnvironmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World,x2213-7114 ;v940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-61146-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03132nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001500186072002300201072001400224082001400238100007600252245009900328250001800427264006500445300004500510336002600555337002600581338003600607347002400643490004600667505030700713520109301020650002602113650001702139650009702156650008802253710003402341773002002375776003602395776003602431776003602467830004602503856004602549912001402595950005302609978-981-10-3641-5DE-He21320191022063601.0cr nn 008mamaa170222s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110364159978-981-10-3641-57 a10.1007/978-981-10-3641-52doi 4aQC851-999 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0420002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a551.52231 aQian, Weihong.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aTemporal Climatology and Anomalous Weather Analysish[electronic resource] /cby Weihong Qian.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 687 p. 489 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-52170 aWeather and climate -- Wind and general circulation -- Spatial patterns and time scales of climatic state -- Global monsoon -- Waves and vortices -- Regional convective events -- Heat waves and cold events -- Unusual tropical cyclons -- Circulation and climatic anomalies -- Low-frequency oscillations.  aBy breaking down atmospheric variables into temporal climatologies and anomalies, this book demonstrates that all weather extremes and climatic events are directly associated with the anomaly component of atmospheric motion. We can use the anomaly-based synoptic chart and dynamical parameters to objectively describe these extremes and events. The conception and differences of weather, climate and general circulation tend to confuse us, because there are no clear physical definitions available for them. Weather extremes such as heat waves, cold surges, freezing rains, heavy rains, severe drought, unusual storm tracks, and tornados are common on our planet’s surface. Climatic events such as Arctic warming and declining sea ice have become hot topics in recent years. An approach based on breaking down total variables into temporal climatologies and anomalies can be used to identify general circulation, analyze climatic anomalies and forecast weather extremes. Accordingly, this book will appeal to students, teachers and forecasters in the field of weather and climate alike. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aMeteorology.14aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3120002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103640808iPrinted edition:z978981103642208iPrinted edition:z9789811099281 0aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-521740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3641-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03492nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256100008000270245012100350250001800471264007500489300006500564336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717490004100741505060900782520047601391650001801867650002301885650003801908650002801946650001801974650010401992650012102096650011302217650012102330700007902451700008002530710003402610773002002644776003602664776003602700776003602736830004102772856004602813912001402859950005302873978-3-319-44327-0DE-He21320191028212733.0cr nn 008mamaa161117s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194432709978-3-319-44327-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-44327-02doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.42231 aMalone, Brendan P.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUsing R for Digital Soil Mappingh[electronic resource] /cby Brendan P.

Further, it illustrates the role of degradative enzymes, metabolic pathways of degradation, toxicity of metabolites, and the factors regulating the pesticide degradation. In view of persistence of synthetic pesticides, scientists have discovered suitable microbes, such as bacteria, fungi and algae (naturally occurring or genetically engineered) over the years. After successful trials under laboratory and field conditions, these microbes are being used to degrade chemical pesticides in agriculture. As of now 2.56 billion kg of chemical pesticides is used every year to protect agricultural fields against pest attack. These technologies have been found to be highly effective, eco-friendly and cost-effective without disturbing the agro-ecosystems. As this book contains review articles contributed by various researchers from different countries whose work demonstrates recent advances in microbial degradation of pesticides, it will serve as a ready reckoner and also a valuable quick reference guide for scientists, academicians, cultivators and industrialists alike. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aAgriculture. 0aMicrobial ecology.14aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aMicrobial Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190821 aSingh, Shree Nath.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945155808iPrinted edition:z978331945157208iPrinted edition:z9783319832258 0aEnvironmental Science,x1431-625040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45156-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04470nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236245010400248250001800352264007500370300006500445336002600510337002600536338003600562347002400598490003800622505100300660520141201663650002803075650001903103650001803122650001503140650011403155650009003269650010003359650009503459700008503554710003403639773002003673776003603693776003603729776003603765830003803801856004603839912001403885950005303899978-3-319-46248-6DE-He21320191024002631.0cr nn 008mamaa170307s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194624869978-3-319-46248-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-46248-62doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a62822310aPerspectives in Environmental Toxicologyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Kavindra Kumar Kesari.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 214 p. 57 illus., 45 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEnvironmental Science,x1431-62500 aNeurophysiological and Behavioral Dysfunctions After Electromagnetic Field Exposure: A Dose Response Relationship -- Induction of LPO and ROS Production in Rat Brain Exposed to Microwaves: Computational Elucidation of Melatonin in Repair System -- Nanoparticles: Applications, Toxicology & Safety Aspects -- Cadmium Toxicity Showing Organ Specific Signature of Responsiveness -- Toxicity of Protein and DNA-AGEs in Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) with Decisive Approaches to Stop the Deadly Consequences -- Carcinogenic Toxicity of Cigarette Smoke: A computational Enzymatic Interaction and DNA repair pathways -- Determination of murG Transferase as a Potential Drug Target in Neisseria meningitides by Spectral Graph Theory Approach -- Review processing, Properties and Applications of Agricultural Solid Waste: Effect of an Open Burning in Environmental Toxicology -- Antibiotic Resistance Genes: An Emerging Environmental Pollutant -- Biomarkers of Ecotoxicological Effects in Social Insects.  aThis book is a valuable contribution to the debate about the harmful effects of environmental toxicants on human health, which is a growing concern in the 21st century. Complementary chapters decipher the phenomena and highlight the latest developments in environmental toxicology, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of environmental toxicology and human health. Since the toxicants in question are not only chemical or biological in nature, but also include man-made electromagnetic fields, the book explores in detail multidisciplinary approaches to environmental toxicology, with a focus on the following five aspects: 1. The effects of man-made electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on human health (proposed mechanisms and biological effects and measures). 2. An overview of nanotoxicity, nanomedicine and cancer research. 3. A bio-computational approach to the molecular interaction of environmental carcinogens with DNA. 4. The toxicology of environmental pollutants in the air, dust, soil, water and natural toxins in the environment: exposure and health. 5. Social insects as environmental indicators of ecotoxicological effects in different ecosystems.

Acknowledgements -- References.  aThis book presents maps of Antarctica, exploring various aspects of its disturbing geopotential and based on the EIGEN 6C4 model, arguably the best gravitational field model currently available. It also provides the latest data on Antarctica’s bedrock topography according to Bedmap 2. In an extensive series of segment maps the book highlights (i) a gravity anomaly (disturbance), (ii) the Marussi tensor of the second derivatives of the disturbing geopotential, (iii) invariants and their ratios, (iv) the strike angle, and (v) virtual deformations. Due to their various degrees of sensitivity to the density contrasts of causative bodies under the Earth’s surface, these maps provide many details that have a range of potential geo-applications. They guide the reader through the entire continent, in segments divided by 30 degrees of longitude, and through geodetic latitudes of between 60 and 90 degrees south. Each segment is complemented by detailed zoom-in maps for selected localities of special interest. 0aGeophysics. 0aGeology. 0aClimate change.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U120071 aKostelecký, Jan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aBezděk, Aleš.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956638208iPrinted edition:z978331956640508iPrinted edition:z9783319859613 0aSpringer Geophysics,x2364-911940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56639-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03685nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236100007300248245020400321250001800525264006500543300006700608336002600675337002600701338003600727347002400763490003300787505016000820520127700980650002302257650002902280650002202309650002302331650009402354650010002448650009302548650012102641700008502762710003402847773002002881776003602901776003602937776003602973830003303009856004603042912001403088950005303102978-981-10-4564-6DE-He21320191028232524.0cr nn 008mamaa170620s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110456469978-981-10-4564-67 a10.1007/978-981-10-4564-62doi 4aTN260 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a5532231 aDeb, Mihir.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMinerals and Allied Natural Resources and their Sustainable Developmenth[electronic resource] :bPrinciples, Perspectives with Emphasis on the Indian Scenario /cby Mihir Deb, Sanjib Chandra Sarkar.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVI, 569 p. 234 illus., 44 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geology,x2197-95450 aPart I. Minerals Resources -- Part II. Allied Natural Resources -- Appendices -- Part III. Sustainable Development of India's Mineral and Allied Resources.  aNonrenewable natural resources – metallic and non-metallic minerals, industrial rocks and energy resources (both organic and inorganic), have been treated in a holistic manner in this book, including two important resources (soil and water), not commonly covered in most books on this topic. For the uninitiated reader, an introductory chapter looks into some basic definitions as well as nature and characteristics of mineral deposits followed by a chapter on the different crustal processes that produce the various ore deposits in the endogenous and exogenous environments. The strength of the book lies in its critical treatment of the genetic processes of the mineral deposits, their classification and the geodynamic context of metallogeny, and coverage of sustainable development of mineral deposits with special reference to various socio-economic as well as regulatory and environmental issues that face the Indian mining industry today. The text is punctuated with examples of Indian deposits, balanced with classical deposits around the world, to cater to the interests of Indian students and the international readership. This is a book for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students of Geology, Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management. 0aMineral resources. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic geology. 0aMaterials science.14aMineral Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3801024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1701024aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Z170001 aSarkar, Sanjib Chandra.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981104563908iPrinted edition:z978981104565308iPrinted edition:z9789811351693 0aSpringer Geology,x2197-954540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4564-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03413nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001500242245016000257250001800417264007500435300006800510336002600578337002600604338003600630347002400666505025200690520090900942650001901851650001801870650001901888650001601907650009001923650008902013650009002102650009502192700007802287700007502365700008802440700008002528710003402608773002002642776003602662776003602698776003602734856004602770912001402816950005302830978-3-319-33940-5DE-He21320191022063221.0cr nn 008mamaa160923s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193394059978-3-319-33940-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-33940-52doi 4aGB400-649 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.4122310aAtlas of Bedforms in the Western Mediterraneanh[electronic resource] /cedited by Jorge Guillén, Juan Acosta, Francesco Latino Chiocci, Albert Palanques.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 307 p. 157 illus., 141 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aBedform analysis and main physical processes -- Bedforms in the coastal zone -- Bedforms in prodeltas and sorted bedforms -- Bedforms in the continental shelf -- Bedforms and benthos -- Bedforms in Submarine Canyons -- Slope and deep-sea bedforms.  aThis atlas illustrates the characteristics of present-day bedforms, from the shoreline to deep-sea environments, and it also includes short reviews of the main mechanisms that generate such bedforms.

Numerical codes and receipts.  aThis book uses the Lagrangian approach, especially useful and convenient for studying large-scale transport and mixing in the ocean, to present a detailed view of ocean circulation. This approach focuses on simulations and on monitoring the trajectories of fluid particles, which are governed by advection equations. The first chapter of the book is devoted to dynamical systems theory methods, which provide the framework, methodology and key concepts for the Lagrangian approach. The book then moves on to an analysis of chaotic mixing and cross-stream transport in idealized models of oceanic meandering currents like the Gulfstream in the Atlantic, the Kuroshio in the Pacific, and Antarctic Circumpolar Current, after which the current state of physical oceanography is reviewed. The latter half of the book applies the techniques and methods already described in order to study eddies, currents, fronts and large-scale mixing and transport in the Far-Eastern seas and the north-western part of the Pacific Ocean. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of Lagrangian simulation and monitoring of water contamination after the Fukushima disaster of 2011. The propagation of Fukushima-derived radionuclides, surface transport across the Kuroshio Extension current, and the role of mesoscale eddies in the transport of Fukushima-derived cesium isotopes in the ocean are examined, and a comparison of simulation results with actual measurements are presented. Written by some of the world leaders in the application of Lagrangian methods in oceanography, this title will be of benefit to the oceanographic community by presenting the necessary background of the Lagrangian approach in an accessible manner. 0aStatistical physics. 0aOceanography. 0aFluids. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3302024aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aFluid- and Aerodynamics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2102624aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aMath.

Policy Perspectives – Water and Scriptures. .  aThis collection of papers aims to draw lessons and apply indigenous knowledge, wisdom and cultural traditions to suit policy contexts describing the (a) role of individuals (b) communities, and (c) the state to ensure effectively manage water resources. Readers will discover ways in which water was conceptualized, conserved and managed. Contributions will also shed light on the historical, functional and futuristic perspectives of water resources management, and readers will be able to draw lessons and evolve policy guidelines. There are some studies related to scriptures across religions and their perceptions regarding ecological conservation. However, religious studies and their socio-economic and environmental relevance to society, more specifically to the current policy contexts, are limited. This book attempts to bridge this gap, in terms of learning lessons from the past to effectively address the challenges of the present and future. The book will be useful for historians and research scholars studying the place of water in different cultures, water pricing and water sharing; as well as ecologists and environmental scientists. . 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aReligion and sociology. 0aWater pollution. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aCulture.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aReligion and Society.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1A802024aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aSociology of Culture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X221001 aRaju, K.

The book presents 30 chapters by an international mix of experts in the field, who highlight and discuss diverse issues concerning wetlands in South Asia as case studies. The chapters are divided into different themes that represent broad issues of concern in a systematic manner keeping in mind students, researchers and general readers at large. The book introduces readers to the basics and theory of wetland science, supplemented by case studies and examples from the region. It also offers a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in allied fields such as environmental studies, limnology, wildlife biology, aquatic biology, marine biology, and landscape ecology. To date the interdisciplinary field ‘wetland science’ is still rarely treated as a distinct discipline in its own right. Further, courses on wetland science aren’t taught at any of the world’s most prestigious universities; instead, the topics falling under this discipline are generally handled under the disciplines ‘ecology’ or under the extremely broad heading of ‘environmental studies’. It is high time that ‘Wetland Science’ be acknowledged as an interdisciplinary sub-discipline, which calls for an attempt to consolidate its various subtopics and present them comprehensively. Thus, this book also serves as a reference base on wetlands and facilitates further discussions on specific issues involved in safeguarding a sustainable future for the wetland habitats of this region. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aAquatic ecology . 0aEnvironmental economics.14aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1906624aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480001 aPrusty, B.

It reviews a number of significant advances in the last three decades on the understanding of the pattern and chronology of the Irish Quaternary glacial, interglacial, floristic and occupation records. Those utilising the latest technology have enabled significant advances in geochronology using accelerated mass spectrometry, cosmogenic nuclide extraction and optically stimulated luminescence amongst others. This has been commensurate with high-resolution geomorphological mapping of the Irish land surface and continental shelf using a wide range of remote sensing techniques including MBES and LIDAR. Thus the time is ideal for a state of the art publication, which provides a series of authoritative reviews of the Irish Quaternary incorporating these most recent advances. 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology. 0aClimate change. 0aGeomorphology. 0aRemote sensing.14aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2100624aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J130101 aCoxon, Peter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcCarron, Stephen.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMitchell, Fraser.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978946239218208iPrinted edition:z9789462392205 0aAtlantis Advances in Quaternary Science  ;v140uhttps://doi.org/10.2991/978-94-6239-219-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03783nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100008000268245011600348250001800464264007500482300006800557336002600625337002600651338003600677347002400713490006500737505030000802520118401102650001602286650001802302650003502320650002202355650009502377650016002472650009702632650009302729700007902822710003402901773002002935776003602955776003602991776003603027830006503063856004603128912001403174950005303188978-3-319-53201-1DE-He21320191023161158.0cr nn 008mamaa170408s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195320119978-3-319-53201-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-53201-12doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aAzevedo, Leonardo.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGeostatistical Methods for Reservoir Geophysicsh[electronic resource] /cby Leonardo Azevedo, Amílcar Soares.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVII, 141 p. 114 illus., 84 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in Oil and Gas Exploration & Production,x2509-372X0 aIntroduction -- Fundamental geostatistical tools for data integration -- Simulation Models of Physical Phenomena in Earth Sciences -- Integration of geophysical data for reservoir modeling and characterization -- Data integration into geostatistical seismic inversion methodologies -- Afterword.  aThis book presents a geostatistical framework for data integration into subsurface Earth modeling. It offers extensive geostatistical background information, including detailed descriptions of the main geostatistical tools traditionally used in Earth related sciences to infer the spatial distribution of a given property of interest. This framework is then directly linked with applications in the oil and gas industry and how it can be used as the basis to simultaneously integrate geophysical data (e.g. seismic reflection data) and well-log data into reservoir modeling and characterization. All of the cutting-edge methodologies presented here are first approached from a theoretical point of view and then supplemented by sample applications from real case studies involving different geological scenarios and different challenges. The book offers a valuable resource for students who are interested in learning more about the fascinating world of geostatistics and reservoir modeling and characterization. It offers them a deeper understanding of the main geostatistical concepts and how geostatistics can be used to achieve better data integration and reservoir modeling. 0aGeophysics. 0aStatistics . 0aGeology—Statistical methods. 0aEconomic geology.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S1702024aQuantitative Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1703024aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170101 aSoares, Amílcar.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953200408iPrinted edition:z978331953202808iPrinted edition:z9783319850887 0aAdvances in Oil and Gas Exploration & Production,x2509-372X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53201-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03040nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245011700268250001800385264008200403300004400485336002600529337002600555338003600581347002400617490003600641505019300677520062700870650001601497650001801513650003001531650009501561650011201656650012601768700007301894700007401967700007402041700007202115710003402187773002002221776003602241776003602277776003602313830003602349856004602385912001402431950005302445978-3-662-55026-7DE-He21320191021212453.0cr nn 008mamaa170808s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625502679978-3-662-55026-77 a10.1007/978-3-662-55026-72doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aPhysics of Petroleum Reservoirsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Xuetao Hu, Shuyong Hu, Fayang Jin, Su Huang.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 506 p. 290 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geophysics,x2364-91190 aThe Physical Properties of Reservoir Rocks -- The Physical Properties of Reservoir Fluids -- Flow Mechanism of Multiphase Fluid Through Porous Media -- Principles of Enhanced Oil Recovery.  aThis book introduces in detail the physical and chemical phenomena and processes during petroleum production.

This book provides a unique overview of the impacts of railways on biodiversity, integrating the existing knowledge on the ecological effects of railways on wildlife, identifying major knowledge gaps and research directions and presenting the emerging field of railway ecology. The book is divided into two major parts: Part one offers a general review of the major conceptual and theoretical principles of railway ecology. The chapters consider the impacts of railways on wildlife populations and concentrate on four major topics: mortality, barrier effects, species invasions and disturbances (ranging from noise to chemical pollution). Part two focuses on a number of case studies from Europe, Asia and North America written by an international group of experts. 0aNature conservation. 0aApplied ecology. 0aBiodiversity. 0aUrban geography. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aApplied Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1902324aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1903124aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370001 aBorda-de-Água, Luís.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBarrientos, Rafael.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBeja, Pedro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aPereira, Henrique Miguel.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331957495008iPrinted edition:z978331957497408iPrinted edition:z978331986178440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57496-7  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SOB  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05155nam a22006375i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245026500266250001800531264006500549300006500614336002600679337002600705338003600731347002400767505163100791520049402422650002902916650001802945650002402963650003102987650001903018650001603037650002703053650010003080650011003180650009503290650011603385650010903501700007203610700008003682700008603762700007403848700007803922700008804000700007704088700007704165710003404242773002004276776003604296776003604332776003604368856004604404912001404450950005304464978-981-287-661-4DE-He21320191027132144.0cr nn 008mamaa170824s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898128766149978-981-287-661-47 a10.1007/978-981-287-661-42doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aICoSI 2014h[electronic resource] :bProceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Innovation /cedited by T.

Towards an environmental democracy -- Conclusion -- Epilogue.  aThis book shows how our new-found ability to observe the Earth from “the necessary distance” has wide and profound cultural and ethical implications. First of all, it is the outcome of speculations and investigations of human beings in relation to their home planet carried out over millennia. In particular, it reveals a split between the ancient idea of the Earth as nurturing mother and the more recent conception of the Earth as a neutral resource able to be infinitely exploited by humankind. The 1968 Earthrise photograph, showing the beauty and fragility of the Earth, helped spark a worldwide environmental movement; now the comprehensive coverage of global change provided by satellites has the potential to convince us beyond reasonable doubt of the huge alterations being wrought upon the Earth and its climate system as a result of human actions, and of the need to act more responsibly. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental sciences—Philosophy. 0aCosmology. 0aClimate change.14aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aEnvironmental Philosophy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3700024aCosmology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2204924aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940602208iPrinted edition:z978331940604608iPrinted edition:z978331982135140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40603-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05286nam a22004455i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242082001400258100007700272245008300349250001800432264007500450300006800525336002600593337002600619338003600645347002400681505220800705520151002913650002104423650001604444650010504460710003404565773002004599776003604619776003604655776003604691856004604727912001404773950005304787978-3-319-49374-9DE-He21320191220130150.0cr nn 008mamaa170815s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194937499978-3-319-49374-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-49374-92doi 4aQH541.5.S3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aRBKF2bicssc 7aSCI0390002bisacsh 7aRBKF2thema04a551.42231 aNaderloo, Reza.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aAtlas of Crabs of the Persian Gulfh[electronic resource] /cby Reza Naderloo.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXII, 444 p. 435 illus., 372 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart I – 1.

Identification keys are provided for 37 brachyuran families, 142 genera and 256 species on the basis of their main synapomorphies. Brief but precise descriptions highlighting the main characteristics are also provided for every family. The atlas displays features high-quality color photos, offering a hands-on guide and equipping readers to readily diagnose crab species in the region. Importantly, a line drawing of the first male gonopod, as well as its main diagnostic characteristics, are provided for all species. Further, every species is supplemented with synonymies that encompass the original descriptions, overall revision of the given taxa, monographs and all records from the northwestern Indian Ocean including the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. For each species, the book provides detailed local and global distribution maps, together with important ecological data including habitat preference. Further, it includes a general introduction to the brachyuran crabs with schematic drawings of their external morphology, as well as a comprehensive introduction to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman as marine ecoregions (geography, hydrology, biology, and environmental condition).

Interdependency between aural signals and spatial variables.  aThis book explores the value of the musical concept of “agogics” – the modification of regular rhythm to enhance expressive potential – in understanding urban spatial configurations within the current technological context and in developing urban maps that exploit sonic signals to create an open learning framework. The book starts by discussing the meaning and significance of agogics in the musical and artistic realm, with reference to the work of Adolphe Appia, Emile-Jaques Dalcroze, and Iannis Xenakis, among others. Its relevance to cartography and mapping is then examined, taking into account the contributions of Ian McHarg, Bill Hillier, Mark Shepard, and Robin Minard. The nature and value of agogic maps, for example in fostering awareness of place and effective organization of spatial development, are described in detail, with reference to case studies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Segrate, Italy. It is explained how agogic maps take advantage of innovative categories and scripting equipment to provide a new mapping instrument for spatial and urban configurations, highlighting the interdependence between aural signals and spatial variables. This book will be of interest to architects, urbanists, and musicians with a specific interest in space and sound design. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aRegional economics. 0aSpatial economics. 0aAcoustics. 0aMusic.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aRegional/Spatial Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4900024aAcoustics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2106924aMusic.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4170002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331948304708iPrinted edition:z9783319483054 0aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,x2282-257740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48306-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05249nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236100007800248245010900326250001800435264006500453300006500518336002600583337002600609338003600635347002400671505102000695520184401715650002803559650002003587650001603607650002703623650002203650650002403672650002303696650011403719650009103833650010903924650011004033650009504143650009404238700007604332710003404408773002004442776003604462776003604498776003604534856004604570912001404616950005304630978-981-10-3268-4DE-He21320191025171349.0cr nn 008mamaa170304s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110326849978-981-10-3268-47 a10.1007/978-981-10-3268-42doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a6282231 aChiang, Pen-Chi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aCarbon Dioxide Mineralization and Utilizationh[electronic resource] /cby Pen-Chi Chiang, Shu-Yuan Pan.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 452 p. 108 illus., 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroductions -- Part I: Global Warming Issues: Challenges and Opportunities -- Carbon Cycle from Thermodynamic Point of View -- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies -- Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) -- CCS Guidance -- Part II: Types of Feedstock for CO2 Mineralization -- Natural Silicate Material -- Iron/Steelmaking Slag -- Air pollution control (APC) residue -- Other Alkaline Waste -- Part III: Integrated Wastes Treatment via Accelerated Carbonation -- Accelerated Carbonation Reaction -- Carbonation Mechanisms and Modeling -- Direct/Indirect Carbonation Processes -- Analytical Methods and Material Identification -- Part IV: Valorization of Carbonated Product for Construction Materials -- Product Utilization in Construction Engineering -- Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Cement and Concrete -- Aggregates -- Other Innovative Utilizations -- Part V: Integrated Land-use, Water and Energy Plans -- Methodologies and Tools -- Waste-to-Resource Supply Chain -- System Optimization.  aThis book focuses on an important technology for mineralizing and utilizing CO2 instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. CO2 mineralization and utilization demonstrated in the waste-to-resource supply chain can “reduce carbon dependency, promote resource and energy efficiency, and lessen environmental quality degradation,” thereby reducing environmental risks and increasing economic benefits towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In this book, comprehensive information on CO2 mineralization and utilization via accelerated carbonation technology from theoretical and practical considerations was presented in 20 Chapters. It first introduces the concept of the carbon cycle from the thermodynamic point of view and then discusses principles and applications regarding environmental impact assessment of carbon capture, storage and utilization technologies. After that, it describes the theoretical and practical considerations for “Accelerated Carbonation (Mineralization)” including analytical methods, and systematically presents the carbonation mechanism and modeling (process chemistry, reaction kinetics and mass transfer) and system analysis (design and analysis of experiments, life cycle assessment and cost benefit analysis). It then provides physico-chemical properties of different types of feedstock for CO2 mineralization and then explores the valorization of carbonated products as green materials. Lastly, an integral approach for waste treatment and resource recovery is introduced, and the carbonation system is critically assessed and optimized based on engineering, environmental, and economic (3E) analysis. The book is a valuable resource for readers who take scientific and practical interests in the current and future Accelerated Carbonation Technology for CO2 Mineralization and Utilization. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aClimate change. 0aManagement. 0aIndustrial management. 0aWaste management. 0aBuilding materials. 0aEnergy efficiency.14aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aInnovation/Technology Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/51800024aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aBuilding Materials.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2304724aEnergy Efficiency.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1180001 aPan, Shu-Yuan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103267708iPrinted edition:z978981103269108iPrinted edition:z978981109830740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3268-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04051nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100007800254245014200332250001800474264007500492300006600567336002600633337002600659338003600685347002400721505069900745520110401444650003002548650001602578650002002594650001702614650002502631650001802656650010102674650008702775650009102862650009602953650009603049650008903145710003403234773002003268776003603288776003603324776003603360856004603396912001403442950005303456978-3-319-55396-2DE-He21320191027043045.0cr nn 008mamaa170508s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195539629978-3-319-55396-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-55396-22doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.72231 aJernelöv, Arne.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Long-Term Fate of Invasive Speciesh[electronic resource] :bAliens Forever or Integrated Immigrants with Time? /cby Arne Jernelöv.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 296 p. 118 illus., 96 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aEarthworms in North America -- Zebra mussels in Western Europe and North America -- Canadian water weed in Europe -- Himalayan balsam in Europe -- House sparrows in North America -- Rabbits in Australia -- Crayfish plague in Europe -- Colorado (potato) beetle -- Water hyacinths in Africa and Asia -- Starlings in North America -- Argentine ant on Mediterranean shores -- Dutch elm disease in Europe and North America -- American mink in Europe Marine (cane) toad on Pacific islands -- Raccoons in Europe -- Canadian beaver on Tierra del Fuego -- African “killer bees” in the Americas -- Warty comb jelly in the Black Sea -- Some concluding remarks emanating from the case studies -- Index.  aThis book examines the long-term fate of invasive species by detailing examples of invaders from different zoological and botanical taxa from various places around the world. Readers will discover what happened, after a century or so, to 'classical' invaders like rabbits in Australia, house sparrows in North America, minks in Europe and water hyacinths in Africa and Asia. Chapters presented in the book focus on eighteen species in the form of in-depth case studies including: earthworms, zebra mussels, Canadian water weed, Himalayan balsam, house sparrows, rabbits, crayfish plague, Colorado beetles, water hyacinths, starlings, Argentine ant, Dutch elm disease, American mink, cane toad, raccoons, Canadian beavers, African killer bees and warty comb jelly. Invaded areas described are in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Pacific islands, and South America. Readers will get some ideas about the likely future of current invaders from the fate of old ones.

Conclusions – linking sustainable development, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, migration and resilience – policy implications.  aThe goal of this book is to explore disaster risk reduction (DRR), migration, climate change adaptation (CCA) and sustainable development linkages from a number of different geographical, social and natural science angles. Well-known scientists and practitioners present different perspectives regarding these inter-linkages from around the world, with theoretical discussions as well as field observations. This publication contributes in particular to the discussion on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 and the debate about how to improve DRR, including CCA, policies and practices, taking into account migration processes from a large perspective where both natural and social factors are crucial and mutually “alloyed”. Some authors see the SFDRR as a positive step forward in terms of embracing a multitude of issues, others doubting that the agreement will lead to much concrete action toward real action on the ground.

Almost nothing influences the quality of our lives more than the design of our homes, our schools, our workplaces, and our public spaces. Yet, design is often taken for granted and people don’t realize that they deserve better, or that better is even possible. In this volume, the author offers character-driven, real-world stories about projects around the globe that offer more—buildings that are designed and created with and for the people who will use them. The book reveals a new understanding of the ways that design shapes our lives and gives professionals and interested citizens the tools to seek out and demand designs that dignify. For too long, design has been seen as a luxury, the province of the rich, not the poor. That can no longer be acceptable to those of us in the design fields, nor to those affected by design that doesn’t consider human aspects. From the Mulan Primary School in Guangdong, China to Kalamazoo College’s Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership, the examples in the book show what is possible when design is a collaborative, dignified, empathic process. Building on a powerful foreword by philanthropist Melinda Gates, Cary draws from his own experience as well as dozens of interviews to show not only that everyone deserves good design, but how it can be achieved. This isn’t just another book for and about designers. It’s a book about the lives we lead, inextricably shaped by the spaces and places we inhabit. 0aEnvironment. 0aSustainable architecture. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/12200024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J150002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091921040uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-794-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03868nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001700185072002300202072001600225082001500241100007700256245011000333250001800443264008200461300006700543336002600610337002600636338003600662347002400698505041400722520144901136650001802585650001602603650002002619650001302639650008902652650009102741650008902832650008402921700008203005710003403087773002003121776003603141776003603177776003603213856004603249912001403295950005303309978-3-662-50297-6DE-He21320191024052611.0cr nn 008mamaa170217s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625029769978-3-662-50297-67 a10.1007/978-3-662-50297-62doi 4aGC1-1581 7aRBKC2bicssc 7aSCI0520002bisacsh 7aRBKC2thema04a551.462231 aSchiebel, Ralf.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPlanktic Foraminifers in the Modern Oceanh[electronic resource] /cby Ralf Schiebel, Christoph Hemleben.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 358 p. 164 illus., 54 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aSpecies Classification, Test Architecture, Shell Ontogeny, Species Phylogeny -- Sampling Methods and Faunal Analysis -- Cultivation -- Biology, Cellular Ultrastructure, Host Symbiont Relationships, Trophic Activity and Nutrition, Reproduction -- Molecular Genetics in Modern Species -- Ecology -- Stable Isotopes - Paleoceanography -- Element Ratios -- Sedimentation and Preservation of Tests -- Applications.  aThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy, biology, sedimentation, and carbonate geochemistry of modern species. Students, early career and advanced scientists alike will profit from a broad synthesis of the current understanding of planktic foraminifers as an ecological indicator, biogeochemical factories, and proxies in paleoceanography. The classification of modern species is amply illustrated with electron and light microscope images of morphotypes, addresses the state-of-the-art of molecular genetics of species, and provides a detailed guide for any laboratory analyses. The biology of planktic foraminifers is extensively discussed in chapters dedicated to the cellular ultrastructure, nutrition, symbionts, reproduction, ontogeny, and test architecture. Building on the biological prerequisites, the distribution of planktic foraminifers is discussed at regional to global scale. The geochemistry and sedimentation of tests are considered in relation to the ecology of the living animal. In the final chapter, which examines the most common methods in planktic foraminifer research, hands-on information is provided on sampling, processing and analyzing samples in the laboratory, as well as selected established methods for data interpretation. The various topics discussed in this book are aimed at the application of planktic foraminifers as sensitive indicators of the changing climate and marine environment. 0aOceanography. 0aGeobiology. 0aPaleontology . 0aZoology.14aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aBiogeosciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3501024aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aZoology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L250071 aHemleben, Christoph.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978366250295208iPrinted edition:z978366250296908iPrinted edition:z978366257052440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-50297-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03696nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100008000254245019200334250001800526264007500544300005300619336002600672337002600698338003600724347002400760505053900784520098101323650002602304650003002330650002002360650001602380650009902396650012302495650009702618650011302715650008702828710003402915773002002949776003602969776003603005776003603041856004603077912001403123950005303137978-3-319-48547-8DE-He21320191220131039.0cr nn 008mamaa161114s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194854789978-3-319-48547-87 a10.1007/978-3-319-48547-82doi 4aGE170-190 7aRND2bicssc 7aPOL0440002bisacsh 7aRND2thema04a363.72231 aMeissner, Richard.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aParadigms and Theories Influencing Policies in the South African and International Water Sectorsh[electronic resource] :bPULSE³, A Framework for Policy Analysis /cby Richard Meissner.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 251 p. 10 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aWater Research in South Africa -- Paradigms and theories: Popular labels and their Delimitation -- The importance of paradigms and theories -- The disdain for paradigms and theories is unproductive -- Active substantiation: A theory of water research -- PULSE3: a Framework for Analysis -- Case studies -- South Africa’s National Water Resource Strategy, Second Edition -- The UNDP’s Water and Ocean Governance Focus Area -- Climate Adaptation Strategies in Australia and South Africa -- Expanding horizons and blazing new trails.  aThis book presents a new way of looking at and analyzing policies, programs and/or plans in which research scientists have used their knowledge to develop mechanisms such as South Africa's National Water Resource Strategy, Second Edition; Australian and South African climate change adaptation strategies for government entities and the UNDP's Water and Ocean Governance focus area. It critically assesses how science can be used in the service of society and how researchers and practitioners can bridge the gaps that arise as a result of incomplete thinking. Presenting a bird’s-eye view of how thinking and understanding operate in the policy context, it offers a valuable contribution to fields of inquiry such as research methods, comparative analyses, political science, international relations and the natural and social sciences in general. This book fills a market gap, providing real-world solutions to the practical application of science, paradigms and theories. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aClimate change. 0aManagement.14aEnvironmental Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3800024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aManagement.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/5150002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331948546108iPrinted edition:z978331948548508iPrinted edition:z978331983968440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48547-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04166nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001700188072002300205072001600228082001400244100007600258245012900334250001800463264008200481300004200563336002600605337002600631338003600657347002400693490003500717505084300752520108701595650002402682650002902706650002702735650001502762650009502777650010002872650009802972650009503070700007603165700007303241710003403314773002003348776003603368776003603404776003603440830003503476856004603511912001403557950005303571978-3-662-53601-8DE-He21320191028162111.0cr nn 008mamaa170107s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625360189978-3-662-53601-87 a10.1007/978-3-662-53601-82doi 4aHF1021-1027 7aRGCM2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGCM2thema04a330.92231 aZhu, Shengjun.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGeographical Dynamics and Firm Spatial Strategy in Chinah[electronic resource] /cby Shengjun Zhu, John Pickles, Canfei He.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 206 p. 28 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction -- Bring In, Go Up, Go West, Go Out: Upgrading, Regionalization and Delocalization in China’s Apparel Production Networks -- Geographical Dynamics and Industrial Relocation: Spatial Strategies of Apparel Firms in Ningbo, China -- Global, Regional and Local: New Firm Formation and Spatial Restructuring in China’s Apparel Industry -- Turkishization of a Chinese Apparel Firm: Fast Fashion, Regionalization, and the Shift from Global Supplier to New End Markets -- Institutional embeddedness and regional adaptability and rigidity in a Chinese apparel cluster -- Global and local governance, industrial and geographical dynamics: a tale of two clusters -- Going Green or Going Away: Environmental Regulation, Economic Geography and Firms’ Strategies in China’s Pollution-intensive Industries -- Summary and Conclusion.  aThis book offers the first detailed account of the complex geographical dynamics currently restructuring China’s export-oriented industries. The topics covered are relevant to post-socialist geography, development studies, economics, economic sociology and international studies. It offers academics, international researchers, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in these fields an accessible, grounded, yet theoretically sophisticated account of the geographies of global production networks, value chains, and regional development in developing countries and emerging economies. It is of particular interest to economic geographers and economic sociologists involved in the growing debates over local clusters, embeddedness, global sourcing and global production, and over the global value chain/global production network. It also appeals to national policymakers, since it directly addresses economic and industrial policy issues, such as industrial competitiveness, regional and national development, industrial and employment restructuring and trade regulation. 0aEconomic geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aDevelopment economics. 0aSociology.14aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aDevelopment Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4200024aSociology, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X220001 aPickles, John.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aHe, Canfei.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978366253599808iPrinted edition:z978366253600108iPrinted edition:z9783662571477 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-53601-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05816nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245015100261250001800412264007500430300006600505336002600571337002600597338003600623347002400659505197400683506001602657520160502673650002004278650002904298650003004327650009104357650010004448650011404548650010104662700007604763700007604839700008204915710003404997773002005031776003605051776003605087776003605123856004605159912001405205912001405219950005305233978-3-319-43702-6DE-He21320191022022729.0cr nn 008mamaa170111s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194370269978-3-319-43702-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-43702-62doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aEvaluating Climate Change Action for Sustainable Developmenth[electronic resource] /cedited by Juha I.

This authoritative book presents the ever progressing state of the art in evaluating climate change strategies and action. It builds upon a selection of relevant and practical papers and presentations given at the 2nd International Conference on Evaluating Climate Change and Development held in Washington DC in 2014 and includes perspectives from independent evaluations of the major international organisations supporting climate action in developing countries, such as the Global Environment Facility. The first section of the book sets the stage and provides an overview of independent evaluations, carried out by multilateral development banks and development organisations. Important topics include how policies and organisations aim to achieve impact and how this is measured, whether climate change is mainstreamed into other development programs, and whether operations are meeting the urgency of climate change challenges. The following sections focus on evaluation of climate change projects and policies as they link to development, from the perspective of international organisations, NGO’s, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies, and academia. The authors share methodologies or approaches used to better understand problems and assess interventions, strategies and policies. They also share challenges encountered, what was done to solve these and lessons learned from evaluations.

Conclusion (Shinya Funakawa).  aThe main objective of this book is to integrate environmental knowledge observed in local agriculture, based on the understanding of soils science and ecology, and to propose possible technical solutions and a more integrated approach to tropical agriculture. The chapters describe and analyze the ecological and technical countermeasures available for mitigating environmental degradation due to the increasing agricultural activities by humans, based on our scientific understanding of traditional agriculture in the tropics. This is an effective approach, as such ecological and technical tools previously involved in traditional activities are expected to be easily incorporated into present agricultural systems. The book starts with a rather classical pedological issue and analyzed traditional agricultural practices with different resource management strategies in terms of their modification of natural biological processes. It focuses on the present situation of tropical agriculture; that is, resource utilization in modern agriculture after application of technical innovation (increased application of chemical fertilizers as well as agricultural chemicals). Here, possible technical approaches to resource management that reasonably support agricultural production whilst mitigating environmental degradation are discussed. The negative impacts of agricultural development on our environment are rapidly growing, yet we are increasingly dependent on the agricultural sector for food and energy. The situation is similar in the tropics, where subsistence agriculture with low input management has long comprised most agricultural systems. Comparison of ecological and/or agronomical studies between different continents are still rare; therefore, this analysis may help clarify what is an essential problem when considering technical transportation beyond continents and/or between temperate and tropical regions. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aAgriculture. 0aEcosystems. 0aMineralogy.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G380001 aFunakawa, Shinya.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156482908iPrinted edition:z978443156483608iPrinted edition:z978443156800140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56484-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03942nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245020200257250001800459264006700477300006500544336002600609337002600635338003600661347002400697505085900721520112501580650003002705650002302735650011002758650010402868700007402972700007403046700007703120710003403197773002003231776003603251776003603287776003603323856004603359912001403405950005303419978-94-024-0933-8DE-He21320191025122056.0cr nn 008mamaa161008s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024093389978-94-024-0933-87 a10.1007/978-94-024-0933-82doi 4aGE300-350 7aTQD2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQD2thema04a363.706322310aAdvances in Monitoring and Modelling Algal Blooms in Freshwater Reservoirsh[electronic resource] :bGeneral Principles and a Case study of Macau /cedited by Inchio Lou, Boping Han, Weiying Zhang.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 149 p. 56 illus., 4 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aMonitoring and Modelling Algal blooms -- Water resources and importance of reservoirs -- Spatio-temporal variations of phytoplankton structure and water quality in the eutrophic freshwater reservoir of Macau -- Using an Online Phycocyanin Fluorescence Probe for Rapid Monitoring of Cyanobacteria in Macau Freshwater Reservoir -- Application of PCR and Real-time PCR for Monitoring Cyanobacteria, Microcystis spp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in Macau Freshwater Reservoir -- Analysis of Cylindrospermopsin- and Microcystin- Producing Genotypes and Cyanotoxin Concentrations in the Macau Storage Reservoir -- Profiling Phytoplankton Community in Drinking Water Reservoirs using Deep Sequencing -- Integrating Support Vector Regression with Particle Swarm Optimization for Numerical Modeling for Algal Blooms of Freshwater -- Conclusions and outlook.  aThis book describes essential principles of and approaches to monitoring and modeling algal blooms. Freshwater algal blooms have become a growing concern worldwide. They are caused by a high level of cyanobacteria, particularly Microcystis spp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, which can produce microcystin and cylindrospermopsin, respectively. Since long-term exposure to these cyanotoxins may affect public health, the reliable detection and quantification of these harmful algae species has become a priority in water quality management. The book utilizes an advanced monitoring approach to identify and quantify cyanobacteria species and various cyanotoxin-producing genotypes. Further, it uses a modeling approach to forecast the occurrence of the phytoplankton that causes algal blooms in freshwater reservoirs, providing a comprehensive picture of currently available micro- and macro-techniques for studying the problem of algal blooms. As such, it offers a valuable guide for researchers, graduate students and professional engineers engaged in monitoring and modeling water quality in lakes and reservoirs. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aAquatic ecology .14aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190661 aLou, Inchio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHan, Boping.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aZhang, Weiying.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940240931408iPrinted edition:z978940240932108iPrinted edition:z978940241440040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-0933-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03468nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100007900268245016000347250001800507264007500525300006500600336002600665337002600691338003600717347002400753505028600777520134301063650001602406650002402422650009502446650009802541700008402639710003402723773002002757776003602777776003602813776003602849856004602885912001402931950005302945978-3-319-50298-4DE-He21320191024102502.0cr nn 008mamaa170420s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195029849978-3-319-50298-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-50298-42doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aSjöberg, Lars E.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGravity Inversion and Integrationh[electronic resource] :bTheory and Applications in Geodesy and Geophysics /cby Lars E.

Further tools in physical geodesy -- 8. Gravity inversion -- Index.  aThis book contains theory and applications of gravity both for physical geodesy and geophysics. It identifies classical and modern topics for studying the Earth. Worked-out examples illustrate basic but important concepts of the Earth’s gravity field. In addition, coverage details the Geodetic Reference System 1980, a versatile tool in most applications of gravity data. The authors first introduce the necessary mathematics. They then review classic physical geodesy, including its integral formulas, height systems and their determinations. The next chapter presents modern physical geodesy starting with the original concepts of M.S. Molodensky. A major part of this chapter is a variety of modifying Stokes’ formula for geoid computation by combining terrestrial gravity data and an Earth Gravitational Model. Coverage continues with a discussion that compares today’s methods for modifying Stokes’ formulas for geoid and quasigeoid determination, a description of several modern tools in physical geodesy, and a review of methods for gravity inversion as well as analyses for temporal changes of the gravity field. This book aims to broaden the view of scientists and students in geodesy and geophysics. With a focus on theory, it provides basic and some in-depth knowledge about the field from a geodesist’s perspective. 0aGeophysics. 0aPhysical geography.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G350001 aBagherbandi, Mohammad.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950297708iPrinted edition:z978331950299108iPrinted edition:z978331984369840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50298-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06462nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256245018600270250001800456264006500474300006700539336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694505268300718520138003401650001804781650002304799650003004822650002904852650001704881650010404898650010105002650010005103650008805203700007905291700009905370700008605469700007805555710003405633773002005667776003605687776003605723776003605759856004605795912001405841950005305855978-981-10-3638-5DE-He21320191023151200.0cr nn 008mamaa170315s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110363859978-981-10-3638-57 a10.1007/978-981-10-3638-52doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.422310aAdaptive Soil Management : From Theory to Practicesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Amitava Rakshit, Purushothaman Chirakuzhyil Abhilash, Harikesh Bahadur Singh, Subhadip Ghosh.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXII, 571 p. 121 illus., 75 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart 1.

As natural areas shrink and fragment, our ability to sustain economic growth and safeguard biological diversity and ecological integrity is increasingly being put to the test. In attempting to meet this unprecedented challenge, adaptive management is becoming a viable alternative for broader application. Adaptive management is an iterative decision-making process which is both operationally and conceptually simple and which incorporates users to acknowledge and account for uncertainty, and sustain an operating environment that promotes its reduction through careful planning, evaluation, and learning until the desired results are achieved. This multifaceted approach requires clearly defined management objectives to guide decisions about what actions to take, and explicit assumptions about expected outcomes to compare against actual outcomes. In this edited book, we address the issue by pursuing a holistic and systematic approach that utilizes natural resources to reap sustainable environmental, economic and social benefits for adap­tive management, helping to ensure that relationships between land, water and plants are managed in ways that mimic nature. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aSustainable development. 0aAgriculture.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L110061 aRakshit, Amitava.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAbhilash, Purushothaman Chirakuzhyil.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSingh, Harikesh Bahadur.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGhosh, Subhadip.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103637808iPrinted edition:z978981103639208iPrinted edition:z978981109927440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3638-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03755nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245020000255250001800455264006500473300004500538336002600583337002600609338003600635347002400671490005900695505033100754520093201085650003802017650001702055650004002072650002002112650012102132650011202253650010402365650010002469700007602569700007402645700007802719700007002797710003402867773002002901776003602921776003602957776003602993830005903029856004603088912001403134950005303148978-981-10-4424-3DE-He21320191023151132.0cr nn 008mamaa170504s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110442439978-981-10-4424-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-4424-32doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aSpatial Data Handling in Big Data Erah[electronic resource] :bSelect Papers from the 17th IGU Spatial Data Handling Symposium 2016 /cedited by Chenghu Zhou, Fenzhen Su, Francis Harvey, Jun Xu.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 237 p. 84 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in Geographic Information Science,x1867-24340 aBig geographical data storage and search -- Data-intensive geospatial computing and data mining -- Visualization of big geographical data -- Multi-scale spatial data representations, data structures and algorithms -- Space-time modelling and analysi -- Geological applications of Big Data and multi-criteria decision analysis.  aThis proceedings volume introduces recent work on the storage, retrieval and visualization of spatial Big Data, data-intensive geospatial computing and related data quality issues. Further, it addresses traditional topics such as multi-scale spatial data representations, knowledge discovery, space-time modeling, and geological applications. Spatial analysis and data mining are increasingly facing the challenges of Big Data as more and more types of crowd sourcing spatial data are used in GIScience, such as movement trajectories, cellular phone calls, and social networks. In order to effectively manage these massive data collections, new methods and algorithms are called for. The book highlights state-of-the-art advances in the handling and application of spatial data, especially spatial Big Data, offering a cutting-edge reference guide for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the field of GIScience. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aData mining. 0aData structures (Computer science). 0aEarth sciences.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aData Mining and Knowledge Discovery.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1803024aData Storage Representation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1502524aEarth Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G000021 aZhou, Chenghu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSu, Fenzhen.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHarvey, Francis.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aXu, Jun.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981104423608iPrinted edition:z978981104425008iPrinted edition:z9789811351334 0aAdvances in Geographic Information Science,x1867-243440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4424-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03853nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256245013100268250001800399264007500417300006700492336002600559337002600585338003600611347002400647505042900671520124001100650002302340650002002363650001702383650002202400650002602422650002602448650011402474650008802588650010002676650008902776650009602865700007502961710003403036773002003070776003603090776003603126776003603162856004603198912001403244950005303258978-3-319-56739-6DE-He21320191026143136.0cr nn 008mamaa170606s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195673969978-3-319-56739-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-56739-62doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a71022310aFood Roofs of Rio de Janeiroh[electronic resource] :bThe Pavao-Pavaozinho and Cantagalo Case Study /cedited by Rob Roggema.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 201 p. 158 illus., 146 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPreface -- Introduction -- Role of food in spatial planning and design -- Space for food in the city -- Networks and chains in the provision of food -- Policy Context: PAC -- Engagement of residents -- Development of an overall design strategy -- Development of the FoodRoof -- Design of the roof -- Building a FoodRoof in one week -- Interview with Marcelo Assunçao, Owner of the first FoodRoof -- Conclusions and Outlook.  aOne important change in the Brazilian policies is the Pacification. In recent years the government has invested in creating safer and more livable favelas. This generally starts with creating a UPP, a police post at a central location, from where the safety is maintained. Once this has been established the PAC, the government organisation for accelerating urban development in the favelas, starts to make plans to improve the quality of life in the favela: drinking water, electricity, sewage system and other basic systems. It is essential to include the growth of food in their policies. Secondly, the discourse in urban agriculture shifts from the early stage in which every initiative is interesting, food production is a social activity and an estimated contribution to sustainability, towards the question how much food is actually produced within the city boundaries. Analyses show that the amount produced is very little. The follow-up question is how more food could be produced in the city? This is obviously also a matter of space. Current urban concepts do not offer enough space for food production and this implies new concepts need to be found. In the context of the favelas these new spaces need to be found on roofs. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aAgriculture. 0aSociology, Urban. 0aFood—Biotechnology. 0aEconomic development.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2225024aFood Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C1500124aDevelopment Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9130001 aRoggema, Rob.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956737208iPrinted edition:z978331956738908iPrinted edition:z978331985988040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56739-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04421nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172072001600187072002300203072001500226082001200241245019400253250001800447264007500465300006600540336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694490007900718505130200797520093102099650001503030650001803045650002103063650009503084650008903179650009203268700007803360700008203438700007703520710003403597773002003631776003603651776003603687830007903723856004603802912001403848950005303862978-3-319-45011-7DE-He21320191023132214.0cr nn 008mamaa161025s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194501179978-3-319-45011-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-45011-72doi 4aHM401-1281 7aJHB2bicssc 7aSOC0260002bisacsh 7aJHB2thema04a30122310aPeacebuilding and the Rights of Indigenous Peoplesh[electronic resource] :bExperiences and Strategies for the 21st Century /cedited by Heather Devere, Kelli Te Maihāroa, John P.

To date most of the research on landslides has been found in journals on topography, geology, geo-technology, landslides, and GIS, and is limited to specific scientific aspects. Although journal articles on GIS using landslide studies are abundant, there are very few books on this topic. This book is designed to fill that gap and show how the latest GIS technology can contribute in terms of landslide studies. In a related development, the GIS Landslide Workshop was established in Japan 7 years ago in order to communicate and solve the scientific as well as technical problems of GIS analyses, such as how to use GIS software and its functions. The workshop has significantly contributed to progress in the field. Included among the chapters of this book are GIS using susceptibility mapping, analyses of deep-seated and shallow landslides, measuring and visualization of landslide distribution in relation to topography, geological facies and structures, rivers, land use, and infrastructures such as roads and streets. Filled with photographs, figures, and tables, this book is of great value to researchers in the fields of geography, geology, seismology, environment, remote sensing, and atmospheric research, as well as to students in these fields. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aNatural disasters. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370001 aYamagishi, Hiromitsu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBhandary, Netra Prakash.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443154390908iPrinted edition:z978443154392308iPrinted edition:z978443156627440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-54391-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)08601nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245018000254250001800434264007500452300007000527336002600597337002600623338003600649347002400685505392200709520240604631650002307037650002507060650002707085650001707112650001607129650002907145650009207174650011607266650010007382700007607482700007607558700007507634700007507709710003407784773002007818776003607838776003607874776003607910856004607946912001407992950005308006978-3-319-53498-5DE-He21320191220130046.0cr nn 008mamaa170610s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195349859978-3-319-53498-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-53498-52doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a55122310aAdvancing Culture of Living with Landslidesh[electronic resource] :bVolume 2 Advances in Landslide Science /cedited by Matjaz Mikos, Binod Tiwari, Yueping Yin, Kyoji Sassa.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVII, 1197 p. 825 illus., 800 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction: Landslide Field Recognition & Identification: Remote Sensing Techniques, Field Techniques -- Landslide Inventory Of Albania -- Multi-Sensor A Priori PSI Visibility Map For Nationwide Landslide Detection In Austria -- Determination Of The Landslide Slip Surface Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) Technique -- Combining Spectral And Morphometric Properties Of Landslides For Separating Individual Landslides Based On Object-Oriented Method -- Sensor Data Integration For Landslide Monitoring – The LEMONADE Concept -- Landslide Diversity In The Rwenzori Mountains (Uganda) -- Comparing Landslide Mapping From DTM Satellite Derived Data And Field Based Studies Of Loess Sediments In Western China -- Mechanism Of The Montescaglioso Landslide (Southern Italy) Inferred By Geological Survey And Remote Sensing -- Rock Fall Characterization In Climbing Spots: The Case Study Of The “Napoleonica” Tourist Route (Trieste, NE Italy) -- Rock Avalanche Sedimentology - Recent Progress -- Landslide Monitoring At The Cala Rossa Sea Cliff (Favignana Island, Sicily) -- Integration Of Multi-Sensor A-Dinsar Data For Landslide Inventory Update -- Spatiotemporal Landslide Mapper For Large Areas Using Optical Satellite Time Series Data -- Multitemporal UAV Survey For Mass Movement Detection And Monitoring -- Studying A Landslide In Its Paroxysmal Phase;

Few things are like water – a subtle and thought-provoking element, so simple and yet complicated, so conspicuous yet unpredictable, so soft and peaceful yet powerful, and so universal yet unique. Water is by far the world’s largest commodity. Though it belongs to all of us, it is still not shared by all. We very seldom take time to reflect on the many ways that water affects our lives. Though it would be too ambitious to believe that it claims all the meanings and roles of water, this book, by showcasing water’s versatility and by sharing the experiences and insights gained by the two authors during their many travels across the globe, contributes to a greater awareness of the most important substance in our society – water.  The book offers an insightful and intriguing read for anyone interested in science and culture related to water, from laymen to students and decision-makers.­­­­­­­­. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aWater. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment. 0aCultural heritage.14aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3600024aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aWater, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/20000024aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4190001 aSui, Tongbo.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981101937108iPrinted edition:z978981101939508iPrinted edition:z978981109483540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-1938-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03622nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245013800255250001800393264007500411300006400486336002600550337002600576338003600602347002400638520164500662650003802307650002302345650002002368650002902388650012102417650011402538650010002652700008202752700007902834710003402913773002002947776003602967776003603003856004603039912001403085950005303099978-3-319-51216-7DE-He21320191220130042.0cr nn 008mamaa170315s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195121679978-3-319-51216-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-51216-72doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aCadastre: Geo-Information Innovations in Land Administrationh[electronic resource] /cedited by Tahsin Yomralioglu, John McLaughlin.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 335 p. 124 illus., 6 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aThis book highlights the latest improvements in cadastre with examples and case studies from various parts of the world. Authors from different continents, in association with national and international organizations and societies, present the most comprehensive forum to date for cadastre, offering a broad overview of land administration and contemporary perspectives on current research and developments, including surveying, land management, remote sensing and geo-information sciences.  Cadastre is a universal concept and is defined as “the work of officially mapping and systemically registering the areas, borders and values of all kinds of land and property”. It is normally a parcel-based and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land with rights, restrictions and responsibilities. It may be established for fiscal and legal purposes, to assist in management for better planning and other administrative purposes, and to enable sustainable development and environmental protection. As such, “cadastre” is an important public inventory documenting the records of ownership, bordering and responsibility regarding the land with “title deeds” to parcels and answering the questions of “whose land, where and how much”. The materials included in the book can support courses at universities and related training institutions worldwide, and will greatly improve readers’ understanding of the scholarly fields involved in cadastre: land registration and management, surveying and mapping, and geo-information management, land governance, land taxation and public administration etc. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aSustainable development.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aYomralioglu, Tahsin.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcLaughlin, John.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951215008iPrinted edition:z978331951217440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51216-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)08454nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001500242245010600257250001800363264007500381300006900456336002600525337002600551338003600577347002400613490005000637505532500687520125006012650001907262650002007281650009007301650010007391700007707491700007907568710003407647773002007681776003607701776003607737776003607773830005007809856004607859912001407905950005307919978-3-319-26194-2DE-He21320191022091837.0cr nn 008mamaa170523s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833192619429978-3-319-26194-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-26194-22doi 4aGB400-649 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.4122310aLandscapes and Landforms of Italyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Mauro Soldati, Mauro Marchetti.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIII, 539 p. 423 illus., 373 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,x2213-20900 aChapter 1.

Attention is given to landform diversity and landscape evolution through time which has been controlled by very diverse geological conditions and dramatic climate changes that have characterized the Italian peninsula and islands since the end of the last glaciation. In addition, various examples of human impact on the landscape are presented. Landscapes and Landforms of Italy contains more than thirty case studies of a multitude of Italian geographical landmarks. The topics and sites described in this book range from the Alpine glaciers to the Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes, taking into account the most representative fluvial, coastal, gravity-induced, karst and structural landscapes of the country. Chapters on the geomorphological landmarks of the cities of Rome and Venice are also included. The book provides the readers with the opportunity to explore the variety of Italian landscapes and landforms through informative texts illustrated with several color maps and photos. This book will be relevant to scientists, scholars and any readers interested in geology, physical geography, geomorphology, landscape tourism, geoheritage and environmental protection. . 0aGeomorphology. 0aEarth sciences.14aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aEarth Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G000021 aSoldati, Mauro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMarchetti, Mauro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331926192808iPrinted edition:z978331926193508iPrinted edition:z9783319799032 0aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,x2213-209040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-26194-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03481nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001600190072002300206072001500229082001400244100008000258245012500338250001800463264006300481300006800544336002600612337002600638338003600664347002400700490005000724505028700774520145101061650001802512650002302530650008902553650009202642710003402734773002002768776003602788776003602824830005002860856004602910912001402956950005302970978-94-6239-207-6DE-He21320191024182257.0cr nn 008mamaa161004s2017    fr |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894623920769978-94-6239-207-67 a10.2991/978-94-6239-207-62doi 4aGB1001-1199.8 7aRBK2bicssc 7aSCI0810002bisacsh 7aRBK2thema04a551.42231 aBjörnsson, Helgi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Glaciers of Icelandh[electronic resource] :bA Historical, Cultural and Scientific Overview /cby Helgi Björnsson.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aParis :bAtlantis Press :bImprint: Atlantis Press,c2017.  aXXIV, 613 p. 380 illus., 305 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAtlantis Advances in Quaternary Science  ;v20 a1.ORIGINS AND NATURE OF GLACIERS -- 2.

VATNAJÖKULL AND GLACIERS OF EASTERN ICELAND.  aThis book is the first comprehensive overview and evaluation of the origins, history and current size and condition of all of Iceland's major glaciers (including Vatnajökull, the largest in Europe) at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is not only illustrated with many beautiful photographs and graphs of recent statistics and scientific data, but is also a collection of historical writings and drawings from annals, sagas, folk tales, diaries, reports, stories and poems, as it presents a unique approach to the study of glaciers on an island in the North Atlantic. Balancing and comparing the world of man with the world of nature, the perceptions of art and culture with the systematic and pragmatic analyses of science, The Glaciers of Iceland present a wide spectrum of readers with a new and stimulating view of the origins, development and possible future of these massive natural phenomena, as well as the study and role of glaciology, within specific time lines and geographical locations. Icelandic glaciers the author argues could prove essential for understanding the current unsettling progress of global warming. The glaciers of Iceland, therefore, aims at presenting to a wide readership an original, historical, cultural and scientific overview of these geophysical features in Iceland while also suggesting increasingly important lessons and models for man's future interaction with the world's glaciers as a whole. 0aHydrogeology. 0aNatural disasters.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G320002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978946239206908iPrinted edition:z9789462392083 0aAtlantis Advances in Quaternary Science  ;v240uhttps://doi.org/10.2991/978-94-6239-207-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04158nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007800250245013100328250001800459264009800477300004400575336002600619337002600645338003600671347002400707520222300731650001702954650002002971650002302991650002003014650009703034650009103131650011403222700007603336700007303412710003403485773002003519776003603539856004603575912001403621950005303635978-1-61091-835-0DE-He21320191023161710.0cr nn 008mamaa180531s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109183509978-1-61091-835-07 a10.5822/978-1-61091-835-02doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aCervero, Robert.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aBeyond Mobilityh[electronic resource] :bPlanning Cities for People and Places /cby Robert Cervero, Erick Guerra, Stefan Al.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aXII, 278 p. 44 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aCities across the globe have been designed with a primary goal of moving people around quickly—and the costs are becoming ever more apparent. The consequences are measured in smoggy air basins, sprawling suburbs, unsafe pedestrian environments, and despite hundreds of billions of dollars in investments, a failure to stem traffic congestion. Every year our current transportation paradigm generates more than 1.25 million fatalities directly through traffic collisions. Worldwide, 3.2 million people died prematurely in 2010 because of air pollution, four times as many as a decade earlier. Instead of planning primarily for mobility, our cities should focus on the safety, health, and access of the people in them. This volume is about prioritizing the needs and aspirations of people and the creation of great places. This is as important, if not more important, than expediting movement. A stronger focus on accessibility and place creates better communities, environments, and economies. Rethinking how projects are planned and designed in cities and suburbs needs to occur at multiple geographic scales, from micro-designs (such as parklets), corridors (such as road-diets), and city-regions (such as an urban growth boundary). It can involve both software (a shift in policy) and hardware (a physical transformation). Moving beyond mobility must also be socially inclusive, a significant challenge in light of the price increases that typically result from creating higher quality urban spaces. There are many examples of communities across the globe working to create a seamless fit between transit and surrounding land uses, retrofit car-oriented suburbs, reclaim surplus or dangerous roadways for other activities, and revitalize neglected urban spaces like abandoned railways in urban centers. The authors draw on experiences and data from a range of cities and countries around the globe in making the case for moving beyond mobility. Throughout the book, they provide an optimistic outlook about the potential to transform places for the better. This book celebrates the growing demand for a shift in global thinking around place and mobility in creating better communities, environments, and economies. 0aEnvironment. 0aTransportation. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11900024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J150001 aGuerra, Erick.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aAl, Stefan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091928940uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-835-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03913nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001600190072002300206072001500229082001400244100008800258245019500346250001800541264007500559300006300634336002600697337002600723338003600749347002400785490005700809505099400866520073501860650001802595650001502613650001802628650008902646650010202735650011202837700007902949700008303028710003403111773002003145776003603165776003603201830005703237856004603294912001403340950005303354978-3-319-52328-6DE-He21320191022121154.0cr nn 008mamaa170207s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195232869978-3-319-52328-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-52328-62doi 4aGB1001-1199.8 7aRBK2bicssc 7aSCI0810002bisacsh 7aRBK2thema04a551.42231 aHernández, Mario Alberto.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aHydrogeology of a Large Oil-and-Gas Basin in Central Patagoniah[electronic resource] :bSan Jorge Gulf Basin, Argentina /cby Mario Alberto Hernández, Nilda González, Lisandro Hernández.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 95 p. 35 illus., 34 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X0 a1.

Discovered in 1907, the San Jorge Gulf Basin was the first petroleum and gas-producing basin in Argentina. It is also one of the most important areas with real prospects for non-conventional exploitation (shale oil-gas). After characterizing the hydroclimatic background (hydrometeorological parameters and water balance), the book describes the main physical aspects: geomorphology, soils and surface as well as subsoil geology, especially lithology, structures, stratigraphy and hydrogeology. . 0aHydrogeology. 0aHydrology. 0aFossil fuels.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aFossil Fuels (incl.

It includes contributions in which academics, public policy experts and practitioners share their considerable knowledge on the multi-faceted aspects of greening cities. The book is organized in three main parts: concepts, functions and forms of urban greening. The first part examines the historical roots of greening cities and how the burgeoning field of urban ecology can contribute useful principles and strategies to guide the planning, design and management of urban greening. The second part shifts the focus to the diverse range of services – the functions – provided by urban greening, such as those related to urban climate, urban biodiversity, human health, and community building. The final part explores conventional, often neglected, but important forms of urban greenery such as urban woodlands and urban farms, as well as relatively recent forms of urban greenery like those integrated with buildings and waterways. It offers a ready reference resource for researchers, practitioners and policy-makers to grasp the critical issues and trigger further studies and applications in the quest for high-performance green cities. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aArchitecture. 0aSustainable development. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aCities, Countries, Regions.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K1400024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130001 aTan, Puay Yok.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aJim, Chi Yung.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981104111208iPrinted edition:z978981104112908iPrinted edition:z9789811350511 0aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,x2198-254640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4113-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05163nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001500239245016000254250001800414264007500432300006500507336002600572337002600598338003600624347002400660490005200684505087000736520164901606650002403255650001303279650001503292650001703307650002503324650002903349650009503378650008403473650008403557650008803641650009603729650008703825700008203912700007903994700008304073700007804156710003404234773002004268776003604288776003604324776003604360830005204396856004604448912001404494950005304508978-3-319-53718-4DE-He21320191029021944.0cr nn 008mamaa170614s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195371849978-3-319-53718-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-53718-42doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a910.0222310aMammoth Caveh[electronic resource] :bA Human and Natural History /cedited by Horton H.

Environmental Issues Relevant to Mammoth Cave and the Region -- Afterword: How Long is Mammoth Cave?.  aThis book reveals the science and beauty of Mammoth Cave, the world's longest cave, which has played an important role in the natural sciences. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary treatment of the cave, combining insights from leading experts in fields ranging from archeology and cultural history to life science and geosciences. The first animals specialized for cave life in North America, including beetles, spiders, crayfish, and fish, were discovered in Mammoth Cave in the 1840s. It has also been used and explored by humans, including Native Americans, who mined its sulfate minerals and later African-American slaves, who made a map of the cave. More recent stories include 'wars' between commercial cave owners, epic exploration trips by modern cave explorers, and of course tourism. The first section of the book is an extensive description including maps and photos of the cave, its basic structural pattern, and how it relates to the surface lan dscape. The second section covers the human history of utilization and exploration of the cave, including mining, tourism, and medical experiments. Cave science is the topic of the third section, including geology, hydrology, mineralogy, climatology, paleontology, ecology, biodiversity, and microbiology. The fourth section looks to the future, with an overview of environmental issues facing Mammoth Cave managers. The book is intended for anyone interested in caves in general and Mammoth Cave in particular, experts in one discipline seeking information about other areas, and researchers and students interested in the many avenues of pursuit possible in Mammoth Cave. 0aPhysical geography. 0aGeology. 0aEcology . 0aArchaeology. 0aNature conservation. 0aUnited States—History.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aUS History.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/7180101 aHobbs III, Horton H.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aOlson, Rickard A.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWinkler, Elizabeth G.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCulver, David C.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953717708iPrinted edition:z978331953719108iPrinted edition:z9783319852263 0aCave and Karst Systems of the World,x2364-459140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53718-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03553nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001700172072001700189072002300206072001600229082001400245100007500259245013300334250001800467264007500485300006400560336002600624337002600650338003600676347002400712490005100736505036700787520098201154650001902136650002402155650001802179650001902197650001702216650009002233650009502323650008902418650009002507650008802597710003402685773002002719776003602739776003602775776003602811830005102847856004602898912001402944950005302958978-3-319-44224-2DE-He21320191022023600.0cr nn 008mamaa160910s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194422429978-3-319-44224-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-44224-22doi 4aQE471-471.15 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aSCI0910002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a551.32231 aValdiya, K.S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPrehistoric River Saraswati, Western Indiah[electronic resource] :bGeological Appraisal and Social Aspects /cby K.S.

Written in simple language and richly illustrated, it highlights the events that resulted in the robbing of the Saraswati of its water and the end of a wonderful culture. The author weaves a geological narrative out of a mass of data generated by explorers, archaeologists, sedimentologists, geohydrologist, seismologists and remonte-sensing specialists. The story explains how a great Himalayan river disappeared and how the Harappan Civilization vanished from the banks of the river Saraswati more than three and half thousand years ago in the wake of tectonic upheavals in the foothills of the Himalaya at a time when the rainfall had drastically declined. And it reveals that nowadays the Saraswati is an extraordinary wide water-less channel coursing through the vast but dry floodplain in western India. 0aSedimentology. 0aStructural geology. 0aHydrogeology. 0aGeomorphology. 0aArchaeology.14aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1708024aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1704024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331944223508iPrinted edition:z978331944225908iPrinted edition:z9783319830155 0aSociety of Earth Scientists Series,x2194-920440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44224-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04396nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000900172072001600181072002300197072001600220082001600236245012400252250001800376264007500394300006400469336002600533337002600559338003600585347002400621490003500645505149100680520072902171650002902900650002402929650002402953650002002977650010002997650009503097650009503192650011403287700007603401700007903477710003403556773002003590776003603610776003603646776003603682830003503718856004603753912001403799950005303813978-3-319-50749-1DE-He21320191022102437.0cr nn 008mamaa170325s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195074919978-3-319-50749-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-50749-12doi 4aG143 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGCD2thema04a333.70922310aOases and Globalizationh[electronic resource] :bRuptures and Continuities /cedited by Emilie Lavie, Anaïs Marshall.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 255 p. 40 illus., 16 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction  -- Part I The genesis of the oases in South East Arabia -- The Southern-Tunisian oases paradox: renovation or death of a concept -- Real and imaginary oases in the Arabic world -- Part II Marginalization and spatial reversal -- Spatial reorganization of piedmont oases of the Peruvian coast -- Insular Oases in the Globalization: the Ribeiras of Cape Verde Archipelago, fragmented and fragile Spaces on the Way of Marginalization -- Liwa: the transformation of an agricultural oasis in a strategic water storage for Abu Dhabi -- The mutation of the Oases of Mendoza (Argentina) Or how the oases’ socio-spatial structures have been reversed by the 2000s’ crisis -- Part III Global control at different temporal scales Water management as main actor -- The Oasis of the Chicama Valley: Water Management from the Chimú to the Spaniards (11th to 17th A.D.) in the North Coast of Peru -- Changing agricultural practices in the oases of southern Tunisia: conflict and competition for resources in post-revolutionary and globalization context -- Who controls the oasis?

It is based on selected papers presented at the international colloquium entitled Oases in the Globalization, Ruptures and Continuities in Paris (December 16-17th, 2013). The main issue was to understand how oases have been excluded from or included into the process of globalization. In this context, the present book proposes firstly a discussion about the definition(s) of oasis and secondly several case studies analysing socio-spatial mutations in the oasis structure. The third part deals with the compelling globalization at different spatial scales, using two entries: the water management and local impacts of external control. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aPhysical geography. 0aEconomic geography. 0aClimate change.14aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130001 aLavie, Emilie.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMarshall, Anaïs.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950747708iPrinted edition:z978331950748408iPrinted edition:z9783319844824 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50749-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02966nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100007400268245008900342250001800431264008200449300006600531336002600597337002600623338003600649347002400685490003600709505024900745520075800994650001601752650001801768650003001786650009501816650011201911650012602023710003402149773002002183776003602203776003602239776003602275830003602311856004602347912001402393950005302407978-3-662-54977-3DE-He21320191022182200.0cr nn 008mamaa170615s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625497739978-3-662-54977-37 a10.1007/978-3-662-54977-32doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aLiu, Hongqi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPrinciples and Applications of Well Loggingh[electronic resource] /cby Hongqi Liu.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 356 p. 217 illus., 48 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geophysics,x2364-91190 aElectrical Logging -- Sonic Logs -- Nuclear Logs -- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance -- Production Logging(PL) -- Logging While Drilling(LWD) -- The Advanced Well Logging Technology -- Rock Mechanics -- Integrated Interpretation of Well Logging Data.  aThis book primarily focuses on the principles and applications of electric logging, sonic logging, nuclear logging, production logging and NMR logging, especially LWD tools, Sondex production logging tools and other advanced image logging techniques, such as ECLIPS 5700, EXCELL 2000 etc. that have been developed and used in the last two decades.

Climate Securitisation in the US and Australia: Discussion -- 8.Conclusion.  aThis book examines how the armed forces of the United States and Australia have responded to the threat posed by climate change to national security. Drawing on established securitisation frameworks (‘Copenhagen’ and ‘Paris’ Schools), the author uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques to systematically examine more than 3,500 speeches, policies and doctrinal articles since 2003. Importantly, the author undertakes an examination of the intersection between the political and the military spheres, probing the question of how ideology has influenced the military’s uptake on the issue. In this context, the author identifies the difficulty of an ostensibly apolitical institution responding to what has become both a hyper-political issue and an unprecedented security threat. A close examination of the key political actors – their intent, outlook and political mandate for broader climate action – is therefore crucial to understanding the policy freedom and constraints within which military leaders operate. The book consists of eight chapters divided into four parts, focusing on: perspectives and methodological insights; empirical case studies; case study comparison; and concluding observations. • Offers a rare and systematic examination of military climate policy by a military officer from Australia • Identifies a divergence of Australian military climate policy from that of the US military during the Obama Administration • Develops a unique method that quantifies climate security, enabling a graphical representation for quick and ready reference ideally suited to policy-makers. 0aPolitical science. 0aClimate change. 0aPolitics and war.14aPolitical Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91100024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aMilitary and Defence Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9120802 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949657308iPrinted edition:z9783319496597 0aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v1040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49658-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)08143nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245019000254250001800444264007500462300006700537336002600604337002600630338003600656347002400692505391000716520195004626650002306576650002506599650002706624650001706651650001606668650002906684650009206713650011606805650010006921700007807021700007707099700007507176700007507251710003407326773002007360776003607380776003607416776003607452856004607488912001407534950005307548978-3-319-53483-1DE-He21320191220130046.0cr nn 008mamaa170519s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195348319978-3-319-53483-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-53483-12doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a55122310aAdvancing Culture of Living with Landslidesh[electronic resource] :bVolume 5 Landslides in Different Environments /cedited by Matjaž Mikoš, Vít Vilímek, Yueping Yin, Kyoji Sassa.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXI, 557 p. 382 illus., 358 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aLandslide Interactions With The Built Environment -- Preface For Session -- Landslide Risk Assessment For The Built Environment In Sub-Saharan Africa -- Rainfall-Induced Debris Flow Risk Reduction: A Strategic Approach -- RUPOK: An Online Landslide Risk Tool For Road Networks -- The Impact (Blight) On House Value Caused By Urban Landslides In England And Wales -- Landslide Monitoring And Counteraction Technologies In Polish Lignite Opencast Mines -- New Perspectives On Landslide Assessment For Spatial Planning In Austria -- Characterisation Of Recent Debris Flow Activity At The Rest And Be Thankful, Scotland -- The Use Of Morpho-Structural Domains For The Characterization Of Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope Deformations In Valle d’Aosta -- Gediminas's Castle Hill (In Vilnius) Case: Slopes Failure Through Historical Times Until Present -- Design Criteria And Risk Management Of New Construction In Landslide Areas: The Case Of The Djendjen –El Eulma Highway (Algeria) -- Numerical Analysis Of A Potential Debris Flow Event On The Irazú Volcano, Costa Rica -- Landslides Impact Analysis Along The National Road 73C Of Romania -- Evaluation Of Building Damages Induced By Landslides In Volterra Area (Italy) Through Remote Sensing Techniques -- The Resilience Of Some Villages 36 Years After The Irpinia-Basilicata (Southern Italy) 1980 Earthquake -- Urgent Need For Application Of Integrated Landslide Risk Management Strategies For The Polog Region In R.

The Gulf of Mexico is an open and dynamic marine ecosystem rich in natural resources but heavily impacted by human activities, including agricultural, industrial, commercial and coastal development. Nutrients and pollutants from coastal communities and dozens of rivers flow into the Gulf, including material from the Mississippi River watershed, which drains over one third of continental United States. The Gulf of Mexico has been continuously exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons for millions of years from natural oil and gas seeps on the sea floor, and more recently from oil drilling and production activities located in the water near and far from shore. Major accidental oil spills in the Gulf are infrequent; two of the most significant include the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in 1979 and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in 2010. Unfortunately, baseline assessments of the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before these spills either were not available, or the data had not been systematically compiled in a way that would help scientists assess the potential short-term and long-term effects of such events. This 2-volume series compiles and summarizes thousands of data sets showing the status of habitats and biota in the Gulf of Mexico before the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill that began on April 20, 2010. Volume 1 begins with an overview of the following 13 chapters and focuses on the big picture rather than the details of habitat quality and biota.  Volume 1 covers: • Water and sediment quality and contaminants, to provide perspective on environmental conditions in the Gulf. • Natural oil and gas seeps in the Gulf of Mexico, to identify natural sources of exposure to petroleum hydrocarbons. • Coastal habitats, including flora and fauna and coastal geology. • Offshore benthos and plankton, with an analysis of current knowledge on energy capture and energy flows in the Gulf. • Shellfish and finfish resources that provide the basis for commercial and recreational fisheries. Volume 2 covers: • Historical data on commercial and recreational fisheries, with an analysis of marketing trends and drivers. • Ecology, populations and risks to birds, sea turtles and marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico. • A final chapter extensively illustrated with original images on diseases and mortalities of fish and other animals that inhabit the Gulf of Mexico.  Chapters in these volumes have been peer reviewed by scientific experts in the subject areas covered.  Hopefully, the collection and analysis of such data for the Gulf of Mexico will be continued and sponsored by responsible federal and state agencies with the frequency needed to accurately assess potential damage to natural resources from ecologically harmful events that may occur in the future. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U360001 aWard, C.

The key findings presented indicate that the field under study holds great potential for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and subsequent CO2 storage. Experts around the globe argue that storing CO2 by means of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) could support climate change mitigation by reducing the amount of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere by ca. 20%. CO2-EOR and sequestration is a cutting-edge and emerging field of research in India, and there is an urgent need to assess Indian hydrocarbon reservoirs for the feasibility of CO2-EOR and storage. Combining the fundamentals of the technique with concrete examples, the book is essential reading for all researchers, students and oil & gas professionals who want to fully understand CO2-EOR and its geologic sequestration process in mature oil fields. 0aStructural geology. 0aFossil fuels. 0aGeotechnical engineering.14aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1704024aFossil Fuels (incl.

The book is the translation into English of the third edition of the German book “Applied Meteorology – Micrometeorological Methods”. It presents, with selected examples, the basics of micrometeorology applied to disciplines such as biometeorology, agrometeorology, hydrometeorology, technical meteorology, environmental meteorology, and biogeosciences. The important issues discussed in this book are the transport processes and fluxes between the atmosphere and the underlying surface. Vegetated and heterogeneous surfaces are special subjects.  The author covers the areas of theory, measurement techniques, experimental methods, and modelling all in ways that can be used independently in teaching, research, or practical applications. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aMeteorology. 0aPhysical geography.14aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31200024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J160002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978364225439008iPrinted edition:z978364225441340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-25440-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03507nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001400238100007800252245014700330250001800477264007500495300004100570336002600611337002600637338003600663347002400699490004400723505025400767520101401021650002102035650002402056650003202080650002402112650002102136650009202157650009502249650009502344650011902439650013602558710003402694773002002728776003602748776003602784830004402820856004602864912001402910950005302924978-3-319-54030-6DE-He21320191022032636.0cr nn 008mamaa170330s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195403069978-3-319-54030-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-54030-62doi 4aGF1-900 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.22231 aFasche, Melanie.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMaking Value and Career Building in the Creative Economyh[electronic resource] :bEvidence from Contemporary Visual Art /cby Melanie Fasche.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 77 p. 7 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-41650 aIntroduction -- 1.

Shedding light on the recent momentum of a growing convergence of cultural and economic spheres in post‐industrial societies by building on a case study of contemporary visual art from interviews with commercial gallerists. Written from an economic geography and historical-institutional perspective while leveraging the analytic strength of the established repertoire of other social science disciplines this book will provide a fascinating read for economic geographers and other social scientists researching the creative and knowledge economy as well as arts professionals aiming to better understand the process of making value of contemporary visual art. 0aHuman geography. 0aEconomic geography. 0aCulture—Economic aspects. 0aEconomic sociology. 0aUrban geography.14aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aCultural Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W5100024aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2202024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J150102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954029008iPrinted edition:z9783319540313 0aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-416540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54030-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04876nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245007400253250001800327264007500345300003500420336002600455337002600481338003600507347002400543490006200567505179500629520082302424650002903247650001903276650002103295650001803316650002603334650003003360650010003390650010603490650008903596650009703685650012303782700008003905710003403985773002004019776003604039776003604075776003604111830006204147856004604209912001404255950005304269978-3-319-59088-2DE-He21320191028213744.0cr nn 008mamaa170602s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195908829978-3-319-59088-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-59088-22doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a577.1422314aThe Nile Riverh[electronic resource] /cedited by Abdelazim M.

Accordingly, it offers an invaluable source of information for researchers, graduate students and policymakers alike. 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aWater quality. 0aWater pollution. 0aGeochemistry. 0aAnalytical chemistry. 0aEnvironmental management.14aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1500024aWater Quality/Water Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21200024aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aAnalytical Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C1100624aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2150001 aNegm, Abdelazim M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331959086808iPrinted edition:z978331959087508iPrinted edition:z9783319865447 0aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,x1867-979X ;v5640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59088-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05134nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001700185072002300202072001600225082001500241100007600256245012300332250001800455264007500473300006300548336002600611337002600637338003600663347002400699505028300723520265801006650001803664650002103682650001603703650003003719650002003749650002903769650008903798650010503887650012303992650011404115650010004229710003404329773002004363776003604383776003604419776003604455856004604491912001404537950005304551978-3-319-41435-5DE-He21320191022012318.0cr nn 008mamaa161001s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194143559978-3-319-41435-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-41435-52doi 4aGC1-1581 7aRBKC2bicssc 7aSCI0520002bisacsh 7aRBKC2thema04a551.462231 aTjossem, Sara.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFostering Internationalism through Marine Scienceh[electronic resource] :bThe Journey with PICES /cby Sara Tjossem.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXV, 160 p. 3 illus., 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPreface -- Introduction -- What is International Science?- Fusing Regional and National Science into International Science -- Taking the Lead on Climate Change -- Integrating the Social and Natural Sciences -- Navigating Marine Science in an Age of Climate Change -- Conclusion.  aThis book describes the work of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) since its launch in 1992. Mapping the evolution of its agenda gives insight into the development of modern marine science and the competing demands of stakeholders within and outside the organization. The opening chapter considers the challenges of marine science at a large scale, and places PICES in the context of internationalism and science-based resource management. It lays out the organization’s longstanding focus on the development of climate science and its applications. Subsequent chapters explore the interplay of national vs. international science, negotiating the nature of investigation and cooperation across scientific, political and institutional boundaries in the region; assessing two major initiatives undertaken to date; and the challenges of incorporating social science into an organization of mainly natural scientists. PICES has played an immensely important role in developing close collaborations and interpersonal relationships among Asian and North American scientists studying the North Pacific Ocean. PICES is a bridge, and a catalyst, for interdisciplinary research and the exchange of ideas, information, and technology across the Pacific. These exchanges and friendships are the foundation of an international community that will be the wellspring of North Pacific science endeavors for years to come. George Hunt (PICES WG 11 Co-Chair) PICES is an example of how international cooperation has opened new opportunities for networking, promoted inter-disciplinary science, and transferred knowledge and technologies during the last 25 years. Luis Valdés (former IOC-UNESCO Head of Ocean Science) PICES’ close relations with both academic and agency scientists in the North Pacific have helped make global SCOR activities stronger and more relevant to the region. Ed Urban (SCOR Executive Director) PICES has been the ideal partner for ICES, another regional science organization, on global issues. Adi Kellermann (ICES Head of Science Programme) PICES is a large multinational scientific community that, propelled by their belief in the Organization, has managed to achieve much more than was ever anticipated. The next 25 years will bring new challenges for PICES, which must be tackled with the same innovation and adaptability as the original ones. Manuel Barange (GLOBEC Executive Director and ICES SCICOM Past Chair) In working with ESSAS, PICES has stretched beyond the Pacific, recognizing that many of the major issues we face scientifically are similar, no matter what ocean we study.

Desirable and urgent transition of socio-technological systems toward a sustainability trajectory of development requires a better understanding of technological trends and social transformations. General advancement of technology does not produce identical changes in various societies, differentiated economically and culturally. Moreover, the abilities to approach sustainable development change over time and space. As a result there is a constant need for continuing research, analyses, and discussions concerning changing contexts and adequacy of strategies and policies. Authors from twelve countries and of different academic and cultural settings present their insights, analyses and recommendations. The collection is focused both on contexts and on activities leading to sustainable trajectories in various domains of economy and social life. Continuing research and discussion is needed to better understand these challenges and to prepare the appropriate strategies and solutions. Development of socio-technological systems is nowadays very complex; moreover, the world we live in is extremely diverse. Therefore, sustainability discourse must be ongoing, introducing new ideas, concepts, theories, evidence and experience by various parties—academics, professionals, and practitioners. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic policy. 0aPhilosophy. 0aApplication software. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aR & D/Technology Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4300024aPhilosophy of Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/E3405024aInformation Systems Applications (incl.

Prospects for Sustainability in Human-Environment Patterns – Dynamic Management of Common Resources.  aThis edited volume focuses on how we can protect our environment and enhance environmental sustainability when faced with changes and pressures imposed by our expansive needs. The volume unites multiple subject areas within sustainability, enabling the techniques and philosophy in the chapters to be applied to research areas in environmental science, plant sciences, energy, biodiversity and conservation. The chapters from expert contributors cover topics such as mathematical modelling tools used to monitor diversity of plant species, and the stability of ecosystem services such as biogeochemical cycling. Empirical research presented here also brings together mathematical developments in the important fields of robotics including kinematics, dynamics, path planning, control, vision, and swarmanoids. Through this book readers will also discover about rainfall-runoff modelling which will give them a better idea of the effects of climate change on the sustainability of water resources at the watershed scale. Modelling approaches will also be examined that maximize readers insights into the global problem of energy transition, i.e. the switch to an energy production system using renewable resources only. Collective and discrete insights are made to assist with synergy which should progress well beyond this book. Insight is also given to assist policy formations, development and implementations. The book has a strong multi-disciplinary nature at its core, and will appeal to both generalist readers and specialists in information technology, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry and environmental sciences. 0aSustainable development. 0aComputer simulation. 0aArtificial intelligence. 0aNatural resources. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aNature conservation.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aSimulation and Modeling.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1900024aArtificial Intelligence.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I2100024aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3900024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U260081 aFurze, James N.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSwing, Kelly.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGupta, Anil K.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcClatchey, Richard H.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aReynolds, Darren M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943900608iPrinted edition:z978331943902008iPrinted edition:z978331982938840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43901-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04513nam a22006135i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001500242082001700257082001800274245017300292250001800465264007500483300006800558336002600626337002600652338003600678347002400714505101500738520069701753650002102450650001502471650001902486650003002505650001802535650002302553650002002576650016402596650010202760650010602862650012302968650010403091650011403195700007903309700007903388700008103467700007603548710003403624773002003658776003603678776003603714776003603750856004603786912001403832950005303846978-3-319-54021-4DE-He21320191022022250.0cr nn 008mamaa170426s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195402149978-3-319-54021-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-54021-42doi 4aTD419-428 7aTQSW2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQSW2thema 7aKNB2thema04a363.739422304a363.7394622310aWater and Land Security in Drylandsh[electronic resource] :bResponse to Climate Change /cedited by Mohamed Ouessar, Donald Gabriels, Atsushi Tsunekawa, Steven Evett.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVIII, 348 p. 152 illus., 40 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aContribution to the study of water stress on olive growing under the effect of climate change in South East of Tunisia -- Climate Change Impacts in the Maghreb Region: Status and Prospects of the Water Resources -- Effect of high temperature stress on wheat and barley production in Northern Tunisia -- Study of artificial recharge and climate change, using a numerical model: Figuig aquifer (Eastern High Atlas of Morocco) -- Calibration of salinity stress parameters of AquaCrop for barley under different irrigation regimes in a dry environment -- Groundwater recharge of the Kairouan plain aquifer: Evidence of preferential flow paths through the El Haouareb limestones? -- Evapotranspiration of wheat in a hilly topography: results from measurements using a set of eddy covariance stations -- Assessing the groundwater pollution problem by nitrate and faecal bacteria: Case of Djerba unconfined aquifer (southeast Tunisia) -- Salt and water dynamic of potato crop under irrigation with low quality waters.  aThis book presents recent lessons learned in the context of research and development for various dryland ecosystems, focusing on water resources management, land and vegetation cover degradation and remediation, and socioeconomic aspects, as well as integrated approaches to ensuring water and land security in view of the current and predicted climate change.

Many matured countries are now confronting an aging society and a shrinking population. Land degradation in those countries is basically caused by a lack of local labor forces. It is very important, therefore, to consider and develop methods to provide appropriate labor forces for the sustainable management of landscapes or to reduce or shrink landscape management areas sustainably with available labor forces. Landscape management labor accounts provide a foundation for such development. This book consists of four main parts. The first part is concerned with forming concepts, definitions, and overviews. Change in land management policies, research topics, and issues on landscape management are dealt with in the second part. The third part consists of case studies on landscape management labor accounts. Major landscape types chosen for case studies include urban areas, flatland farmlands, Satoyama, and coastal neighborhoods. In the last part of this section, integration methods to develop landscape management labor accounts on different scales are considered. The fourth part of the book is a detailed exposition of contemporary trials to solve issues of land management for the future in the field of urban, rural, forest, river, and coastal planning. Also discussed is the connection of ecosystem service studies and perspectives on the development of landscape management labor accounts with world landscape management research. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aEconomic geography. 0aPhysical geography. 0aHuman geography.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1900024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X260001 aShimizu, Hiroyuki.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTakatori, Chika.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKawaguchi, Nobuko.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102277708iPrinted edition:z978981102279108iPrinted edition:z978981109580140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2278-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03850nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000900172072001600181072002300197072001500220082001400235100007100249245008300320250001800403264007500421300006500496336002600561337002600587338003600613347002400649505078000673520097101453650002302424650001802447650002302465650002002488650002402508650001602532650009402548650010402642650011402746650009802860650008702958710003403045773002003079776003603099776003603135776003603171856004603207912001403253950005303267978-3-319-49439-5DE-He21320191022052728.0cr nn 008mamaa161209s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194943959978-3-319-49439-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-49439-52doi 4aHC85 7aRNF2bicssc 7aNAT0380002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.72231 aPal, D.K.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut12aA Treatise of Indian and Tropical Soilsh[electronic resource] /cby D.K.

The book showcases the research contributions on pedology, geomorphology, mineralogy, micromorphology and climate change collected from the literature on three major soil types: shrink-swell soils, red ferruginous (RF) soils and the soils that occur in the tropical environments of the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). It also provides insights into several aspects of five pedogenetically important soil orders like Alfisols, Mollisols, Ultisols, Vertisols and Inceptisols found in tropical Indian environments. Documenting the significance of minerals in soils and their overall influence in soil science in terms of pedology, paleopedology, polygenesis and edaphology, it provides a knowledge base that is critical when attempting to bridge the gap between food production and population growth. . 0aNatural resources. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aClimate change. 0aPhysical geography. 0aMineralogy.14aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3900024aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3500024aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G380002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949438808iPrinted edition:z978331949440108iPrinted edition:z978331984162540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49439-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04022nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001400238245020600252250001800458264007500476300006600551336002600617337002600643338003600669347002400705505026000729506001600989520109301005650002602098650003302124650002002157650002802177650002602205650002902231650002402260650011802284650009102402650011402493650009702607650010002704650009502804700007602899700008002975700007603055710003403131773002003165776003603185776003603221776003603257856004603293912001403339912001403353950005303367978-3-319-58768-4DE-He21320191027161944.0cr nn 008mamaa170815s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195876849978-3-319-58768-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-58768-42doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNQ2thema04a363.722310aResilience: A New Paradigm of Nuclear Safetyh[electronic resource] :bFrom Accident Mitigation to Resilient Society Facing Extreme Situations /cedited by Joonhong Ahn, Franck Guarnieri, Kazuo Furuta.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 356 p. 62 illus., 48 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction -- Part I: What are damages in Nuclear Accidents?- Part II: Measurement of Damages -- Part III: Barriers against Transition into Resilience -- Part IV: Research questions for developing knowledge toward transition into resilience -- Epilogue.0 aOpen Access  aThis book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book summarizes presentations and discussions from the two-day international workshop held at UC Berkeley in March 2015, and derives questions to be addressed in multi-disciplinary research toward a new paradigm of nuclear safety. The consequences of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011 have fuelled the debate on nuclear safety: while there were no casualties due to radiation, there was substantial damage to local communities. The lack of common understanding of the basics of environmental and radiological sciences has made it difficult for stakeholders to develop effective strategies to accelerate recovery, and this is compounded by a lack of effective decision-making due to the eroded public trust in the government and operators. Recognizing that making a society resilient and achieving higher levels of saf ety relies on public participation in and feedback on decision-making, the book focuses on risk perception and mitigation in its discussion of the development of resilient communities. 0aRadiation protection. 0aRadiation—Safety measures. 0aNuclear energy. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEngineering ethics.14aEffects of Radiation/Radiation Protection.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1300324aNuclear Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11300024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aEngineering Ethics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/E140301 aAhn, Joonhong.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGuarnieri, Franck.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aFuruta, Kazuo.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331958767708iPrinted edition:z978331958769108iPrinted edition:z978331986471640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-58768-4  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SOB  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07395nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245018000266250001800446264007500464300006900539336002600608337002600634338003600660347002400696490007500720505359500795520106304390650002905453650002305482650002005505650002005525650002305545650003005568650010005598650011405698650011405812650009205926650011006018700008006128700008306208700007806291700007406369710003406443773002006477776003606497776003606533776003606569830007506605856004606680912001406726950005306740978-3-319-54466-3DE-He21320191021172152.0cr nn 008mamaa170502s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195446639978-3-319-54466-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-54466-32doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aDisaster Risk Reduction in Indonesiah[electronic resource] :bProgress, Challenges, and Issues /cedited by Riyanti Djalante, Matthias Garschagen, Frank Thomalla, Rajib Shaw.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXLVIII, 639 p. 112 illus., 64 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,x2196-41060 aChapter 1.

The focus is on the design, creation, development and operation of integrated Web-based GIS applications for weather, marine and atmospheric environments, and Earth's magnetic field. More specifically, the aim of this book is to present characteristic applications of GIS to environmental monitoring including GIS solutions for eco-mapping sea and port-related parameters, climate changes, and geomagnetic field.        In the first part of the book, the description of every application includes the user requirements, the design and development stages performed and the presentation of the final outcome, its capabilities and services. The Web-based applications are developed through different innovative approaches, such as cloud GIS and Google Apps for GIS, justifying the merit of WebGIS in the world of the environmental applications. The second part of the book provides an overview of geomagnetic field parameters and reveals the potential of using GIS for modeling and analyzing of the Earth's magnetic (geomagnetic) field and its parameters. Here, the authors present the recently introduced phenomenon called “geomagnetic pseudostorm”, which is modeled and further analyzed here with GIS technology and tools.      This book appeals to those interested in various areas where spatial information becomes of paramount relevance (e.g. social and economic research and mapping, environmental and climate research, decision support systems, public services, and especially for geomagnetic field variations and for the design of warning systems for natural disasters). It presents modern methods and approaches to visualize and analyze spatial information using innovative techniques, procedures, and tools of WebGIS technology. In this book, the readers find a valuable companion in their efforts to design and develop their own WebGIS applications, as it includes useful examples of developing (Web)GIS applications regarding the monitoring of marine and atmospheric environments, as well as applications that deal with meteorological issues and the Earth’s magnetic field along with solar activity (space weather information).This book can also serve as a useful reference source for graduates, researchers and professionals related to the areas indicated above. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aGeophysics. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370001 aVorobev, Andrei V.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aVorobeva, Gulnara R.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aStylios, Chrysostomos.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953084008iPrinted edition:z978331953085708iPrinted edition:z9783319850580 0aGeotechnologies and the Environment,x2365-0575 ;v2040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53086-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04833nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245015200266250001800418264006500436300004500501336002600546337002600572338003600598347002400634505106900658520123901727650002902966650002002995650002903015650003003044650002303074650002603097650010003123650011303223650010003336650009103436650010103527650011203628700008303740700007803823700007903901710003403980773002004014776003604034776003604070776003604106856004604142912001404188950005304202978-981-10-3869-3DE-He21320191022161739.0cr nn 008mamaa170916s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110386939978-981-10-3869-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-3869-32doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aPost-2020 Climate Actionh[electronic resource] :bGlobal and Asian Perspectives /cedited by Shinichiro Fujimori, Mikiko Kainuma, Toshihiko Masui.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 328 p. 98 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPreface -- Chapter 1 Introduction: Overview and Key Messages -- Chapter 2 Implications of the Paris Agreement in the Context of Long-term Climate Mitigation Goals -- Chapter 3 Risks from Global Climate Change and the Paris Agreement -- Chapter 4 Temporal and spatial distribution of global mitigation cost: INDCs and equity -- Chapter 5 The effectiveness of the International Emissions Trading under the Paris Agreement? -- Chapter 6 Achieving carbon emissions peak in China by 2030: the key options and economic impacts -- Chapter 7 India INDC assessment: Emission gap between pledged target and 2°C target -- Chapter 8 An Assessment of Indonesia’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions -- Chapter 9 Quantitative analysis of Japan’s 2030 target based on AIM/CGE and AIM/Enduse -- Chapter 10 Asian INDCs Assessments: The case of Thailand -- Chapter 11 Realizing the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution: The Role of Renewable Energies in Vietnam -- Chapter 12 AIM/CGE V2.0 model formula -- Chapter 13 AIM/CGE V2.0 - Basic feature of the model -.  aThis book summarizes assessments of the Paris Agreement to provide an excellent introduction to this research field. The AIM/CGE (Asia-Pacific Integrated Modeling /Computable General Equilibrium) model, which is the core of AIM modeling framework, is used for the assessment. The first part focuses on global issues, presenting both short-term (a few decades) and long-term (century scale) assessments in the context of the Agreement’s ultimate climate goal. It also discusses policy implementation and climate risk. Part 2 is a collection of assessments of individual Asian countries, providing insights into the national situations and detailed analyses. It includes contributions from Asian countries as well as NIES (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan) members. The main conclusion is that many countries require changes to their energy systems change and societal transformation in order to meet emissions targets. Part 3 describes in detail the AIM/CGE model, which is used to evaluate the climate and energy policies by simulating the future economic and energy and environmental situation in the Asia-Pacific region. This section can be used as a standard text on CGE modelling in climate change mitigation. 0aSustainable development. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U160021 aFujimori, Shinichiro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKainuma, Mikiko.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMasui, Toshihiko.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103868608iPrinted edition:z978981104899908iPrinted edition:z978981135778740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3869-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03682nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245022200254250001800476264007500494300006400569336002600633337002600659338003600685347002400721505037200745520113401117650001602251650001802267650001902285650008702304650008902391650009002480700009102570700008402661700007902745700007702824710003402901773002002935776003602955776003602991776003603027856004603063912001403109950005303123978-3-319-45669-0DE-He21320190703211910.0cr nn 008mamaa161221s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194566909978-3-319-45669-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-45669-02doi 4aQE351-399.2 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a54922310aNew Perspectives on Mineral Nucleation and Growthh[electronic resource] :bFrom Solution Precursors to Solid Materials /cedited by Alexander E.S.

Such proposed scenarios include multistage reactions proceeding via various precursor species and/or intermediate phases. The aim of this book is to review and discuss these recent advances in our understanding of the early stages of mineralisation through a series of contributions that address both experimental and theoretical studies about the formation and nature of initial precursor species (e.g., prenucleation clusters, dense liquid phases, amorphous nanoparticles, etc.) as well as their transformations leading to the stable mineral phase. Several chapters are devoted to cutting-edge analytical techniques used for investigating the above processes in situ, in real time and at conditions relevant to both natural and industrial processes. At the end of the book, the editors summarize the key questions that still need to be addressed in order to establish a complete picture of the nucleation and growth processes involved during the formation of minerals. 0aMineralogy. 0aGeochemistry. 0aNanochemistry.14aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3800024aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aNanochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C330001 aVan Driessche, Alexander E.S.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKellermeier, Matthias.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBenning, Liane G.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGebauer, Denis.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945667608iPrinted edition:z978331945668308iPrinted edition:z978331983342240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45669-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04817nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245013200268250001800400264007800418300006600496336002600562337002600588338003600614347002400650490004000674505226800714520082002982650001603802650009503818700008103913700008603994710003404080773002004114776003604134776003604170830004004206856004604246912001404292950005304306978-3-319-57822-4DE-He21320191025072305.0cr nn 008mamaa170513s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195782249978-3-319-57822-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-57822-42doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122314aThe Chile-2015 (Illapel) Earthquake and Tsunamih[electronic resource] /cedited by Carla Braitenberg, Alexander B.

The subducting Nazca plate beneath the Andes caused this major earthquake, generating strong shaking, permanent deformation, free oscillations of the Earth, and tsunamis. This event occurred in the flat-angle subducting segment of the plate.The generated tsunami spread throughout the entire Pacific Ocean and was recorded by numerous coastal tide gauges and open-ocean DART stations. All articles give an up-to-date account of research in one of the most active seismic zones worldwide.

It is divided into three main parts, starting with an introduction to the analysis of diamond inclusions to infer the formation processes. In turn, the second part of the book presents high-pressure experimental studies in mantle diamond-parental mineral systems with representative multicomponent boundary compositions. The experimental syngenesis phase diagrams provided reveal the physicochemical mechanisms of diamond nucleation and substantiate the mantle-carbonatite concept of the genesis of diamonds and associated phases. Lastly, the book describes the genetic classification of diamond-hosted mineral inclusions and experimentally determined RE “mineral-parental melt” partition coefficients. The physicochemical experimental evidence presented shows the driving forces behind the fractional evolution of the mantle magmas and diamond-parental melts. Given the depth and breadth of its coverage, the book offers researchers essential new insights into the ways diamonds and associated minerals and rocks are naturally created. 0aGeochemistry. 0aMineralogy. 0aPhysical chemistry.14aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3800024aPhysical Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C210012 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954542408iPrinted edition:z978331954544808iPrinted edition:z9783319854182 0aSpringer Mineralogy,x2366-158540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54543-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04857nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245017400253250001800427264007500445300005600520336002600576337002600602338003600628347002400664490006200688505136900750520076102119650002902880650001902909650002102928650001802949650002602967650002302993650010003016650010603116650008903222650009703311650010403408700008603512700007903598700008403677700007503761700008203836710003403918773002003952776003603972776003604008776003604044830006204080856004604142912001404188950005304202978-3-319-51614-1DE-He21320191025011212.0cr nn 008mamaa170327s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195161419978-3-319-51614-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-51614-12doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a577.1422314aThe Boka Kotorska Bay Environment h[electronic resource] /cedited by Aleksandar Joksimović, Mirko Djurović, Aleksander V.

Oceans are the main regulatory agent of earth’s climate and harbour a huge diversity of living organisms. Marine environment provide a unique ecological niche to different microbes which play a significant role in nutrient recycling as well as various environmental activities. However with rapid industrialization, urbanisation, ship trafficking and mining activities enormous amounts of waste including heavy metals, hydrocarbons, chemicals, dyes, organic load, agriculture waste, pesticides, antifoulants (e.g.tributyltin) and bacterial pathogens have accumulated in marine/estuarine environments over several decades and pose a serious threat to marine macro and micro biota and humans and therefore require special attention. However some natural marine microbes are known to possess diverse resistance mechanisms and degradation pathways to variety of toxic pollutants and these unique characteristics of marine/estuarine bacteria proved to be an ideal tool in bioremediation of contaminated marine and estuarine environmental sites. Reclamation of marine polluted environments using marine microbes has been found to be effective, affordable and ecofriendly technological solution over conventional physical and chemical methods. Objective of this book is focus on marine pollution and application of marine microorganisms in cost effective and ecofriendly methods of pollution abatement. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater. 0aWater pollution. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnvironmental monitoring.14aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3600024aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X1 aNaik, Milind Mohan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aDubey, Santosh Kumar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981101042208iPrinted edition:z978981101043908iPrinted edition:z978981109314240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-1044-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03640nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001500188072002300203072001400226082001600240100008000256245017700336250001800513264007500531300006500606336002600671337002600697338003600723347002400759505063500783520030301418650003001721650002801751650002401779650001601803650002301819650003101842650012601873650011301999650009602112650008702208650012102295650011102416700009502527700007702622700008802699710003402787773002002821776003602841776003602877776003602913856004602949912001402995950005303009978-3-319-42884-0DE-He21320191021213136.0cr nn 008mamaa170527s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194288409978-3-319-42884-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-42884-02doi 4aTA703-705.4 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a624.1512231 aRautureau, Michel.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aClays and Healthh[electronic resource] :bProperties and Therapeutic Uses /cby Michel Rautureau, Celso de Sousa Figueiredo Gomes, Nicole Liewig, Mehrnaz Katouzian-Safadi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIV, 217 p. 35 illus., 4 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1 – Background -- Chapter 2 -

The main objectives of the study include analysis of processes and patterns of social differentiation along the three-dimensional space of Aizawl city as well as analysis of spatial inequality in QOL at the lowest administrative structure of the city. An investigation into spatial pattern of residential differentiation was done at both horizontal and vertical spaces. Spatial variation in well-being of residents of Aizawl city and the quality of their immediate environment was also studied by taking both objective and subjective indicators. The study employed a number of descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistical techniques including correlation, factor analysis, principal component analysis, cluster analysis and spatial autocorrelation methods like Moran’s I and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA). Mapping techniques and graphical methods like Choropleth map, histogram and line graph were also used. With the help of factor analysis, the social space of Aizawl city was found to be differentiated along socio-economic status, family status, household size status, workers status and ethnic status. The most important factor determining residential differentiation was socio-economic status. Choropleth map of factor scores reveals that the inner city localities were dominated by high socio-economic class while poorer people dominated the peripheries. Non-local ethnic minorities were few but concentrated in some adjoining peripheral localities as well as in inner city localities which have been inhabited by their ancestors since the colonial period. Vertical pattern of residential differentiation was also analyzed by taking income variable as a proxy of socio-economic status. Multi-storey buildings in Aizawl city were co-inhabited by both richer people and poorer people. The richer people were found at the top floors while the poorer people occupied the basement floors. Normally, the owners of the buildings were found at the top floors while the basement floors were dominated by the renters. Spatial variation in QOL was measured with the help of principal component analysis as a weighting technique by taking variables pertaining to both objective and subjective QOL dimensions. The values of composite QOL index showed that the central localities have scored better than their peripheral counterparts. Correlation analysis of the relationship between objective indicators and subjective indicators provided a low positive value indicating the absence of relationship between the two dimensions of quality of life. Spatial autocorrelation analysis was also performed to see the pattern of clustering of spatially weighted QOL variables across Local Councils. With the help of Global Moran’s I, spatial clusters and spatial outliers were observed for objective dimension of QOL within the study area. The value of Moran’s I was found to be insignificant for subjective QOL dimension indicating the absence of significant pattern of clustering. Spatial clusters and spatial outliers were shown with the help of LISA map. The study also identified 7 social areas of Aizawl city on the basis of factor scores and composite scores of QOL variables calculated for all Local Councils. The identification of clusters was taken out with the help of hierarchical clustering method of cluster analysis. These clusters were labeled appropriate names and their characteristics were described in detail. The thesis concluded with recommendation of designating these social areas as ‘social development planning zones’ for obtaining inclusive development. 0aUrban geography. 0aMedical research. 0aSocial structure. 0aSocial inequality. 0aDevelopment economics.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aQuality of Life Research.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/H6500024aSocial Structure, Social Inequality.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2201024aDevelopment Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W420002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953779508iPrinted edition:z978331953781808iPrinted edition:z9783319852423 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53780-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04231nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000700172072001600179072002300195072001500218082001400233100007700247245012600324250001800450264007500468300006400543336002600607337002600633338003600659347002400695490005700719505103000776520099301806650002402799650003102823650001802854650001702872650001102889650001402900650001402914650009502928650009903023650008903122650008803211650008203299710003403381773002003415776003603435776003603471830005703507856004603564912001403610950005303624978-3-319-52331-6DE-He21320191023182429.0cr nn 008mamaa170308s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195233169978-3-319-52331-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-52331-62doi 4aGF 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.22231 aBell, Martha G.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPottery, Livelihoods, and Landscapesh[electronic resource] :bA Case Study from the Peruvian Andes /cby Martha G.

Based on extensive interviews with potters and traders, it explains why the barter of pots continues to be practiced, and explores how pottery production and exchange practices may now be changing. The book provides a unique and detailed analysis of the interconnections between handicraft production, rural trade networks, and agriculture in an Andean context. Pots are mainly bartered for food crops within a non-monetary peasant economy distinct from the “conventional” market. This practice is an important food source for pottery traders; thus trader livelihoods are placed at the center of this qualitative study of pottery distribution. Of primary importance are: 1) the decision-making processes surrounding exchange activities, 2) how exchange choices produce distinct spatial patterns, and 3) how the marketing of pots impacts livelihoods. . 0aCultural geography. 0aEthnology—Latin America. 0aAnthropology. 0aArchaeology. 0aTrade. 0aBusiness. 0aCommerce.14aCultural Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J2200024aLatin American Culture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41108024aAnthropology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1200024aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aTrade.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/5270102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952330908iPrinted edition:z9783319523323 0aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52331-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05038nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172050001300185072001500198072002300213072001400236072001500250082001400265245014600279250001800425264007500443300006900518336002600587337002600613338003600639347002400675505211900699520058602818650002803404650002803432650002503460650002603485650001803511650011303529650013303642650010003775650009703875650008903972700007604061700007204137710003404209773002004243776003604263776003604299776003604335856004604371912001404417950005304431978-3-319-43415-5DE-He21320191025111342.0cr nn 008mamaa161227s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194341559978-3-319-43415-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-43415-52doi 4aGE45.M38 4aGE45.M37 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema 7aPBW2thema04a333.722310aData Assimilation for Atmospheric, Oceanic and Hydrologic Applications (Vol. III)h[electronic resource] /cedited by Seon Ki Park, Liang Xu.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXVI, 553 p. 216 illus., 155 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aKernel Methods for Data Assimilation in Geophysical Modeling -- Adjoint-free 4d variational assimilation into regional models,- Investigation of scale sensitivity using a nested adjoint model -- Assessment of radiative effects of hydrometeors in rapid radiative transfer model in support of satellite cloud and precipitation data assimilation -- Data assimilation over complex terrain -- Assessing the impacts of ocean surface winds and 3-D wind measurements on high-impact weather forecasting -- Quantification of Uncertainty in forecast using Polynomial Chaos and Unscented Transformations and their impact in ensemble data assimilation -- Soil Moisture Data Assimilation -- Toward new applications of the adjoint sensitivity tools in variational data assimilation -- Information Quantification for Data Assimilations -- Impact of Data Assimilation on Super Typhoon (2010) -- Forecast sensitivity to observations -- Data assimilation for coupled modeling systems -- GPS TPW Assimilation with the JMA Nonhydrostatic 4DVAR and Cloud Resolving Ensemble Forecast for the 2008 August Tokyo -- Validation and operational implementation of the four dimensional variational data assimilation system for the Navy coastal ocean model -- Recent Advances in Bottom Topography Mapping via Data Assimilation in Rivers, Estuaries, and the Coastal Ocean -- Data Assimilation Experiments of Refractivity Observed by JMA Operational Radar -- Stratospheric and Mesospheric Data Assimilation -- A review on variational methods for geophysical flows -- A new multi-outerloop formulation for NAVDAS-AR -- Impact of model physics on assimilation of precipitation and cloudy radiance observations in 4DVar -- A coupled atmosphere-chemistry data assimilation: Application to a tropical cyclone -- Improving the snow albedo parameterization using optimal estimation in land surface modeling -- Study of the impact of uncertainty of climate change on the simulation of terrestrial ecosystem by using the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation of parameters -- Target Observations for High-impact Ocean-Atmospheric Environmental Events.  aThis book contains the most recent progress in data assimilation in meteorology, oceanography and hydrology including land surface.

The developed product application scenarios were illustrated in case studies on iron oxide and silver nanoparticles. It was shown that despite of prevailing knowledge gaps, reasonable estimations for environmental releases and exposures can be made. This novel approach facilitates the identification of early indicators for precautionary risk management measures and among them benign by design concepts in technology and product development.

Topics covered include the very active neotectonic and volcanic setting. Mountain geomorphic processes are examined and new ideas about landsliding are highlighted. The exceptional sedimentary archives of the Whanganui Basin are also presented. As one of two land masses that extend into the southern mid-latitudes, New Zealand is ideally located to investigate changes in Southern Ocean climate. Related to this, mountain glaciation in New Zealand is a focus in global climate change debates. New Zealand also has a unique biota due to its long isolation and is the last major land mass to be settled by people. Advances in DNA technologies have revolutionised our understanding of the histories and processes involved. The book provides a comprehensive review of existing work and highlights new ideas and major debates across all these fields. 0aGeography. 0aClimate. 0aEnvironment. 0aEarth sciences.14aGeography, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J0000024aClimate, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/30000024aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aEarth Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G000021 aShulmeister, James.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978946239236608iPrinted edition:z9789462392380 0aAtlantis Advances in Quaternary Science  ;v340uhttps://doi.org/10.2991/978-94-6239-237-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04210nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245021100250250001800461264009800479300004400577336002600621337002600647338003600673347002400709520178700733650001702520650002202537650002302559650002002582650001902602650009702621650010002718650009402818650008502912700008102997700008103078700008503159700007503244700007803319700008003397710003403477773002003511776003603531856004603567912001403613950005303627978-1-61091-848-0DE-He21320191021162456.0cr nn 008mamaa180606s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109184809978-1-61091-848-07 a10.5822/978-1-61091-848-02doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.722310aDesign as Democracyh[electronic resource] :bTechniques for Collective Creativity /cedited by David de la Peña, Diane Jones Allen, Randolph T.

By bringing community members to the table, we open up the possibility of exchanging ideas meaningfully and transforming places powerfully. Collaboration like this is hands-on democracy in action. It’s up close. It’s personal. For decades, participatory design practices have helped enliven neighborhoods and promote cultural understanding. Yet, many designers still rely on the same techniques that were developed in the 1950s and 1960s. These approaches offer predictability, but hold waning promise for addressing current and future design challenges. This volume is written to reinvigorate democratic design, providing inspiration, techniques, and case stories for a wide range of contexts. Edited by six leading practitioners and academics in the field of participatory design, with nearly 50 contributors from around the world, this book shows how to design with communities in empowering and effective ways. The flow of the book’s nine chapters reflects the general progression of community design process, while also encouraging readers to search for ways that best serve their distinct needs and the culture and geography of diverse places. Each chapter presents a series of techniques around a theme, from approaching the initial stages of a project, to getting to know a community, to provoking political change through strategic thinking. Readers may approach the book as they would a cookbook, with recipes open to improvisation, adaptation, and being created anew. This book offers fresh insights for creating meaningful dialogue between designers and communities and for transforming places with justice and democracy in mind. 0aEnvironment. 0aSociology, Urban. 0aCritical Thinking. 0aUrban planning. 0aCity planning.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2225024aCritical Thinking.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O5303024aUrbanism.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K180061 ade la Peña, David.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aJones Allen, Diane.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHester Jr., Randolph T.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHou, Jeffrey.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLawson, Laura L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcNally, Marcia J.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091922740uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-848-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04820nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100008000254245011300334250001800447264006700465300006400532336002600596337002600622338003600648347002400684490004600708505128400754520123102038650002603269650001903295650001903314650002903333650002103362650009703383650009303480650009003573650009003663650010003753650009203853710003403945773002003979776003603999776003604035776003604071830004604107856004604153912001404199950005304213978-94-024-1039-6DE-He21320191029031556.0cr nn 008mamaa170623s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024103969978-94-024-1039-67 a10.1007/978-94-024-1039-62doi 4aRA565-600 7aMMR2bicssc 7aMED0780002bisacsh 7aMKV2thema04a613.12231 aAsante-Duah, Kofi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPublic Health Risk Assessment for Human Exposure to Chemicalsh[electronic resource] /cby Kofi Asante-Duah.  a2nd ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXI, 600 p. 35 illus., 8 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEnvironmental Pollution,x1566-0745 ;v270 aPart1 Problem Diagnosis:A general overview of the origins and nature of chemical exposure problems -- Introduction -- anatomical and physiological perspectives on human exposure to chemicals -- archetypical chemical exposure problems -- Part2 a public health risk assessment taxonomy: nomenclatural components, concepts, principles,& evaluation strategies -- principles and concepts in risk assessment -- attributes of a public health risk assessment -- general basic planning considerations for a chemical exposure characterization activity -- Part 3 the risk assessment framework & paradigm for chemical exposure problems -- principal elements of a the public health risk assessment process for chemical exposure problems -- chemical hazard determination -- exposure assessment: analysis of human intake of chemicals -- determination of chemical toxicity -- chemical risk characterization -- uncertainty and variability issues in public health risk evaluation -- Part4 development of public health risk management strategies for human exposure to chemicals -- determination of 'acceptable' and 'safe' levels for human exposure to chemicals -- design of public health risk management programs -- utility of risk assessment in public health policy decisions -- Part5 Appendices .  aThis book provides a concise, yet comprehensive overview of the many facets relating to human health risk assessments in relation to chemical exposure problems.

Conclusion (Leena Heinämäki).  aThis book focuses specifically on the experience and protection of indigenous, and particularly Sámi sacred sites in the Arctic. Sacred sites are being increasingly recognized as important reservoirs of Arctic cultural and biological diversity, as a means for the transmission of culture and identity, and a tool for the preservation of fragile northern social-ecological systems. Yet, legal protection of Arctic sacred sites and related policies are often still lacking or absent. It becomes increasingly difficult for site custodians in the Arctic to protect these ancient sites, due to disruptive changes, such as climate change, economic developments and infrastructural development. With contributions from Sámi and non-Sámi scholars from Arctic regions, this book provides new insights into our understanding of the significance and legal protection of sacred sites for Sámi of the Arctic. It examines the role of international human rights, environmental law, and longstanding customary law that uphold Arctic indigenous peoples’ rights in conservation, and their associated management systems. It also demonstrates the complex relationships between indigenous knowledge, cultural/spiritual values and belief systems and nature conservation. The book looks forward to providing guidelines for future research and practice for improved integration of the ethical, cultural and spiritual values of nature into law, policy, planning and management. As such, this book offers a contribution to upholding the sanctity of these sites, their cultural identity and the biodiversity associated with them. 0aInternational environmental law. 0aPolar regions. 0aHuman rights. 0aCultural heritage. 0aCulture. 0aReligion and sociology.14aInternational Environmental Law.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/R1907024aPolar Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1602024aHuman Rights.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/R1902024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41900024aSociology of Culture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2210024aReligion and Society.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1A80201 aHeinämäki, Leena.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHerrmann, Thora Martina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331948068808iPrinted edition:z978331948070108iPrinted edition:z9783319838915 0aSpringer Polar Sciences,x2510-047540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48069-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04288nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245016900261250001800430264007500448300006400523336002600587337002600613338003600639347002400675505145600699520050302155650002002658650002302678650003202701650002602733650009102759650009402850650011402944650010303058650009303161700007603254700007703330700007603407710003403483773002003517776003603537776003603573776003603609856004603645912001403691950005303705978-3-319-48920-9DE-He21320191022081921.0cr nn 008mamaa170331s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194892099978-3-319-48920-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-48920-92doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aWater, Energy & Food Sustainability in the Middle Easth[electronic resource] :bThe Sustainability Triangle /cedited by Sohail Murad, Elias Baydoun, Nuhad Daghir.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 440 p. 120 illus., 84 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart 1.

Topics such as, species behaviour and responses; collision risk and fatality estimation; landscape features and gradients, are considered. Other chapters in the book cover the results of current research on mitigation; compensation; effectiveness of measures; monitoring and long-term effects; planning and siting. Examples are given of current research on shutdown on demand and curtailment algorithms. By identifying what we have learned so far, and which predominate uncertainties and gaps remain for future research, this book contributes to the most up to date knowledge on research and management options. This book includes presentations from the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife impacts (CWW15), March 2015, hosted by the Berlin Institute of Technology, which offered a platform to national and international participants to showcase the current state of knowledge in wind energy’s wildlife implications. . 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aNature. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aAnimal ecology.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aAnimal Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190151 aKöppel, Johann.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951270908iPrinted edition:z978331951271608iPrinted edition:z978331984608840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51272-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03653nam a22006135i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001400186072001500200072002300215072001400238072001500252082001400267082001200281100007600293245011900369250001800488264006500506300006300571336002600634337002600660338003600686347002400722490006700746505042000813520071601233650003101949650001901980650002201999650002802021650001502049650001902064650002102083650011602104650011002220650009102330650009502421650010602516700007502622710003402697773002002731776003602751776003602787776003602823830006702859856004602926912001402972950005302986978-981-10-3656-9DE-He21320191220130042.0cr nn 008mamaa170227s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110365699978-981-10-3656-97 a10.1007/978-981-10-3656-92doi 4aTA170-171 4aTD195.B58 7aTQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aTCB2thema04a660.622304a6282231 aDu, ChangMing.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aPlasma Remediation Technology for Environmental Protectionh[electronic resource] /cby ChangMing Du, JianHua Yan.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 79 p. 50 illus., 19 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvanced Topics in Science and Technology in China,x1995-68190 aEnvironmental Application of Plasma Technique -- Remediation of Phenanthrene Contaminated Soil using Plasma Fluidized Bed -- Degradation and discoloration of Dyes Solution using Plasma in Combination with Advanced Fenton Catalysis -- Reduction of Cr(VI) in Aqueous Solution with Microplasma -- Surface Sterilization by Atmospheric Pressure Non–Thermal Plasma -- Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds using Plasma.  aThis book introduces a new technology for environmental protection, namely plasma cleaning.

The symposium, taking place in Tokyo in December 2015, has been leading the research and practices of eco-design of products and product-related services since it was first held in 1999. The proceedings of EcoDesign2011 were also published by Springer. Eco-design of products and product-related services (or product life cycle design) are indispensable to realize the circular economy and to increase resource efficiencies of our society. This book covers the state of the art of the research and the practices in eco-design, which are necessary in both developed and developing countries. The chapters of the book, all of which were peer-reviewed, have been contributed by authors from around the world, especially from East Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The features of the book include (1) coverage of the latest topics in the field, e.g., global eco-design management, data usage in eco-design, and social perspectives in eco-design; (2) an increased number of authors from Southeast Asian countries, with a greater emphasis on eco-design in emerging economies; (3) high-quality manuscripts, with the number of chapters less than half of that of the previous book. 0aWaste management. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEngineering design.14aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aEngineering Design.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T170201 aMatsumoto, Mitsutaka.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMasui, Keijiro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aFukushige, Shinichi.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKondoh, Shinsuke.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981100469808iPrinted edition:z978981100470408iPrinted edition:z9789811091704 0aEcoProduction, Environmental Issues in Logistics and Manufacturing,x2193-461440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-0471-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03425nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236100007300251245008000324250001800404264006500422300004300487336002600530337002600556338003600582347002400618490005900642505020700701520100600908650002101914650002901935650002301964650002101987650002402008650013602032650010002168650009402268650009202362650009502454710003402549773002002583776003602603776003602639776003602675830005902711856004602770912001402816950005302830978-981-10-2387-3DE-He21320191022041505.0cr nn 008mamaa160921s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110238739978-981-10-2387-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-2387-32doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.762231 aHee, Limin.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aConstructing Singapore Public Spaceh[electronic resource] /cby Limin Hee.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 222 p. 47 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,x2198-25460 aIntroduction to concepts and models of public space -- Public Space in Singapore-A History -- A Closer Look at Places for People -- Themes for Understanding Public Spaces: Production and Representation.  aThis book presents possible alternatives and interpretations to the well established notion in the mostly western discourse on public space. The discourse on public space as understood in the democratic-rationalist tradition, when applied to the Singaporean public space, would offer much criticism but would not be adequate in identifying alternative processes that allow for transformative potentials in public space. Thus said, the objectives of this book are: 1. To develop a conceptual frame of reference to construct the discourse on Singapore public space 2.

By highlighting the major drawbacks that hinder effective mangrove conservation, the book contributes towards enhancing climate resilience of communities through proposition of corrective methods and ameliorative approaches of mangrove conservation. Mangroves play an important role in adapting to climate change and provide a plethora of ecosystem services that are fundamental to human survival. Yet these ecosystems are exceptionally prone to extinction due to increased human interventions and changes in environmental boundary conditions. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, mangroves have dwindled at an exceptional high rate over the past three decades. As the threat of climate change hovers over millions of people in this region, particularly those who crowd the low-lying coastal areas, conservation/restoration of mangroves through appropriate policies and practices remain highly imperative. The primary target readers for this book are students and researchers in the fields of conservation and management of mangroves, especially from the developing tropical countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Other target groups comprise policy planners, practitioners, and NGO workers, who will be able to apply the collective knowledge from this work towards proactive mangrove conservation through effective mediation in local communities. . 0aNatural disasters. 0aSustainable development. 0aClimate change.14aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3140001 aDasGupta, Rajarshi.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aShaw, Rajib.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156479908iPrinted edition:z978443156480508iPrinted edition:z9784431567998 0aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,x2196-410640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56481-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05102nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245012500257250001800382264007500400300006300475336002600538337002600564338003600590347002400626505147500650520154002125650003003665650003003695650002003725650002103745650011003766650010103876650009103977650009204068700008204160700007904242710003404321773002004355776003604375776003604411776003604447856004604483912001404529950005304543978-3-319-41525-3DE-He21320191026131937.0cr nn 008mamaa161014s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194152539978-3-319-41525-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-41525-32doi 4aGE300-350 7aTQD2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQD2thema04a363.706322310aImpact of Cesium on Plants and the Environmenth[electronic resource] /cedited by Dharmendra K.

This book is also helpful for graduate and undergraduate students who are specializing in radioecology or safe disposal of radioactive waste, remediation of legacies and the impact on the environment. Radiocesium (137Cs and 134Cs) was released into the environment as a result of nuclear weapons testing in 1950s and 1960s (~1x1018 Bq), and later due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986 (8.5x1016 Bq) and Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011 (~1x1017 Bq). 137Cs is still of relevance due to its half-life of 30 years. The study of radioisotope 137Cs is important, as production and emission rates are high compared to other radioisotopes, due to high fission yield and high volatility. This book contains original work and reviews on how cesium is released into the environment on translocation from soil to plants and further on to animals and into the human food chain. Separate chapters focus on the effective half-life of cesium in plants and on how different cultivars are responding in accumulation of cesium. Other key chapters focus on cesium impact on single cells to higher plants and also on remediation measures as well as on basic mechanism used for remedial options and analysis of transfer factors. The book rounds off by contributions on cesium uptake and translocation and its toxicity in plants after the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aNuclear energy. 0aPlant pathology.14aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aNuclear Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11300024aPlant Pathology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L240351 aGupta, Dharmendra K.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWalther, Clemens.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941524608iPrinted edition:z978331941526008iPrinted edition:z978331982376840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41525-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04165nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256100007700268245015400345250001800499264007500517300004600592336002600638337002600664338003600690347002400726505082600750520116501576650002302741650002002764650002102784650002202805650001802827650011402845650013602959650010003095650008903195700007603284710003403360773002003394776003603414776003603450776003603486856004603522912001403568950005303582978-1-137-46403-3DE-He21320191220125528.0cr nn 008mamaa170602s2017    xxk|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97811374640339978-1-137-46403-37 a10.1057/978-1-137-46403-32doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a7102231 aGurran, Nicole.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUrban Planning and the Housing Marketh[electronic resource] :bInternational Perspectives for Policy and Practice /cby Nicole Gurran, Glen Bramley.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aLondon :bPalgrave Macmillan UK :bImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,c2017.  aXXIII, 435 p. 27 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1.

Conclusion - Re-uniting Planning and Housing Policy -- .  aThis book re-examines the role of urban policy and planning in relation to the housing market in an era of global uncertainty and change. The relationship between planning and the housing market is a contested problem across research, policy, and practice. Problems with housing supply and affordability in many nations have been linked to planning system constraints, while the global financial crisis has raised new questions about the role of urban planning regulation and processes in responding to housing market trends. With reference to international cases from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia, the book examines how different systems of urban planning and governance address complex and dynamic housing market trends. It also offers practical guidance on how urban planning can support an efficient supply of appropriate and affordable homes in preferred locations. A detailed study, which explains and decodes the workings of the planning system and housing market, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of human geography and urban planning, as well as housing policy makers and practitioners. . 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aUrban geography. 0aSociology, Urban. 0aArea studies.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2225024aArea Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X220451 aBramley, Glen.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978113746402608iPrinted edition:z978134969065708iPrinted edition:z978134969064040uhttps://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-46403-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03899nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100008000266245010500346250001800451264007500469300006400544336002600608337002600634338003600660347002400696505087800720520088901598650002902487650002602516650001702542650001902559650002702578650010002605650009702705650008802802650010602890650009802996710003403094773002003128776003603148776003603184776003603220856004603256912001403302950005303316978-3-319-42363-0DE-He21320190704041019.0cr nn 008mamaa161013s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194236309978-3-319-42363-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-42363-02doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aCzarny, Ryszard M.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut12aA Modern Nordic Saga : Politics, Economy and Societyh[electronic resource] /cby Ryszard M.

The volume emphasizes the specificity of their cooperation within the region itself as well as within the European Union, and stresses the importance of the Nordic region as an area of possibilities and tangible chances resulting from the challenges of globalization. The social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of these countries are characterized by cooperation among states, their collaboration with other regional organizations and within international projects, as well as exchange of viewpoints on the specificity of the current Norden issues. The cooperation of the Nordic countries and their inhabitants as well as migrations between the Scandinavian states have been a trademark of the common and shared history of Norden. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconomic development. 0aRegionalism. 0aSocial change. 0aDevelopment economics.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aRegional Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91305024aRegionalism.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91205024aDevelopment and Social Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91303024aDevelopment Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W420002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942362308iPrinted edition:z978331942364708iPrinted edition:z978331982560140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42363-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03907nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001100172072001500183072002300198072001400221082001200235100007900247245015000326250001800476264007500494300006500569336002600634337002600660338003600686347002400722490003500746505044200781520127501223650001502498650002102513650001902534650002302553650001602576650009502592650009202687650009002779650009402869650009202963710003403055773002003089776003603109776003603145776003603181830003503217856004603252912001403298950005303312978-3-319-51932-6DE-He21320191024202515.0cr nn 008mamaa170204s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195193269978-3-319-51932-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-51932-62doi 4aG1-922 7aRG2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRG2thema04a9102231 aMoinuddin, Shekh.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMediascape and The Stateh[electronic resource] :bA Geographical Interpretation of Image Politics in Uttar Pradesh, India /cby Shekh Moinuddin.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXV, 222 p. 59 illus., 50 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction: Mediascape and the State -- Mapping the Mediascapes in India -- UP- the Heartland of Indian Politics and Polity -- From Regional to National: The Making of UP as the “Heartland” of Indian Politics and Polity in Media -- Locating the Communal Vote Bank Politics in the Mediated Heartland of Uttar Pradesh -- From National to Regional: Development and Governance as the New Avatars of UP Heartland Politics -- Postscript.  aThis book investigates image politics during elections and how the political discourse is reflected during the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2012 by the media and the state. It reveals new dimensions of media geography in India and makes image construction and interpretation easy to comprehend. This interdisciplinary approach is located at the interface of geography with social, political, cultural, and media sciences. The book draws a geographical interpretation of politics to reveal the role of both media and the state to shape the political discourse with special focus on the privileged position of the “heartland” Uttar Pradesh in Indian politics. It studies the “mediascape” by highlighting application of media in both public and private spheres and discussing the importance of both old and new media, e.g., print, radio, TV, social media. Several crucial aspects are discussed and answered. How do media and politicians construct politics around the issue of minorities? How do media communalize issues during the election campaign? How can local issues gain national importance and shape national politics? This book appeals to scientists but also to graduates and postgraduates that want to understand the way image politics are performed. 0aGeography. 0aHuman geography. 0aCommunication. 0aPolitical science. 0aMass media.14aGeography, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J0000024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aMedia Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41200024aPolitical Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91100024aMedia Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X221102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951931908iPrinted edition:z978331951933308iPrinted edition:z9783319847818 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51932-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05129nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001500242082001700257082001800274100008100292245012200373250001800495264007500513300006700588336002600655337002600681338003600707347002400743505092300767520221501690650002103905650001803926650002803944650016403972650011004136650011404246710003404360773002004394776003604414776003604450776003604486856004604522912001404568950005304582978-3-319-40472-1DE-He21320191026131952.0cr nn 008mamaa161027s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194047219978-3-319-40472-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-40472-12doi 4aTD419-428 7aTQSW2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQSW2thema 7aKNB2thema04a363.739422304a363.739462231 aSiegrist, Robert L.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aDecentralized Water Reclamation Engineeringh[electronic resource] :bA Curriculum Workbook /cby Robert L.

Treatment for Pathogen Reduction -- Chapter 15. Management of Process Solids, Sludges, and Residual.  aThis book presents technical information and materials concerning the engineering of decentralized infrastructure to achieve effective wastewater treatment while also minimizing resource consumption and providing a source of reclaimed water, nutrients and organic matter. The approaches, technologies and systems described are targeted for green building and sustainable infrastructure across the United States and similar industrialized nations, but they are also applicable to water and sanitation projects in developing regions around the world. Today, decentralized infrastructure can be used to sustainably serve houses, buildings and developments with water use and wastewater flows of 100 to 100,000 gal/d or more. The book provides in-depth engineering coverage of the subject in a narrative and slide format specifically designed for classroom lectures or facilitated self-study. Key topics are covered including: engineering to satisfy project goals and requirements including sustainability, contemporary water use and wastewater generation and methods to achieve water use efficiency and source separation, alternative methods of wastewater collection and conveyance, and treatment and reuse operations including tank-based (e.g., septic tanks, aerobic treatment units, porous media biofilters, membrane bioreactors), wetland-based (e.g., free water surface and vegetated subsurface bed wetlands), and land-based unit operations (e.g., subsurface soil infiltration, shallow drip dispersal). Approaches and technologies are also presented that can achieve nutrient reduction and resource recovery in some cases or pathogen destruction to enable a particular discharge or reuse plan. The book also describes requirements and methods for effective management of the process solids, sludges and residuals that can be generated by various approaches, technologies, and systems. The book contains over 300 figures and illustrations of technologies and systems and over 150 tables of design and performance data. There are also more than 200 questions and problems relevant to the topics covered including example problems that have solutions presented to illustrate engineering concepts and calculations. 0aWater pollution. 0aWater-supply. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aWater Industry/Water Technologies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21400024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940471408iPrinted edition:z978331940473808iPrinted edition:z978331982111540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40472-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04547nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001500242082001700257082001800274245017500292250001800467264007500485300006700560336002600627337002600653338003600679347002400715490003100739505098800770520083701758650002102595650001502616650003002631650002902661650016402690650010202854650012302956650010003079700007703179700007703256700007603333700007903409700007803488700007303566710003403639773002003673776003603693776003603729776003603765830003103801856004603832912001403878950005303892978-3-319-51856-5DE-He21320191022002151.0cr nn 008mamaa170509s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195185659978-3-319-51856-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-51856-52doi 4aTD419-428 7aTQSW2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQSW2thema 7aKNB2thema04a363.739422304a363.7394622310aWater Resources in Arid Areas: The Way Forwardh[electronic resource] /cedited by Osman Abdalla, Anvar Kacimov, Mingjie Chen, Ali Al-Maktoumi, Talal Al-Hosni, Ian Clark.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXI, 521 p. 222 illus., 194 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Water,x2364-69340 aPaleoclimatic Registers From Semi-Arid Costal Sediments Of Southeastern India: A Multi Proxy Approach -- Collective Impact of Upstream Anthropogenic Interventions and Prolonged Droughts on Downstream Basin’s Development in Arid and Semi-arid areas: The Diyala Transboundary Basin -- Scenarios based climate projection for Oman water resources -- Study Of Rainfall Variations In Tessa Subwatershed Of Medjerda River In Tunisia -- Spatial And Temporal Variability Analysis Of Modeled Precipitation Data In A Catchment Of Chambal Basin -- Recent Observed Climate Change Over Oman -- Significance Of Silica Analysis In Groundwater Studies Of Domestic ShallowWells In Parts Of Jeli District, Kelantan, Malaysia -- Assessment Of Global Change Impacts On Groundwater Resources In Souss-Massa Basin -- An Overview Of Stable Isotopes In Northern Oman'S Main Aquifers AsAnInsight Into Recharge Process -- Satellite-Based Estimates Of Groundwater Storage Changes As The Najd Aquifers In Oman.  aThis book presents the most recent innovations, trends, concerns and practical challenges, and solutions in the field of water resources for arid areas.

The individual papers discuss challenges and solutions to alleviate water resource scarcity in arid areas, including water resources management, the introduction of modern irrigation systems, natural groundwater recharge, construction of dams for artificial recharge, use of treated wastewater, and desalination technologies. As such, the book provides a platform for the exchange of recent advances in water resources science and research, which are essential to improving the critical water situation. 0aWater pollution. 0aHydrology. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental geography.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J190101 aAbdalla, Osman.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKacimov, Anvar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aChen, Mingjie.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAl-Maktoumi, Ali.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAl-Hosni, Talal.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aClark, Ian.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951855808iPrinted edition:z978331951857208iPrinted edition:z9783319847603 0aSpringer Water,x2364-693440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51856-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03377nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001700185072002300202072001600225082001500241100008400256245011500340250001800455264007500473300006500548336002600613337002600639338003600665347002400701490004700725505023300772520117401005650001802179650002302197650001602220650008902236650009702325650009502422700008002517710003402597773002002631776003602651776003602687830004702723856004602770912001402816950005302830978-3-319-02579-7DE-He21320191022052526.0cr nn 008mamaa170211s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833190257979978-3-319-02579-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-02579-72doi 4aGC1-1581 7aRBKC2bicssc 7aSCI0520002bisacsh 7aRBKC2thema04a551.462231 aGuigné, Jacques Yves.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aAcoustic Investigation of Complex Seabedsh[electronic resource] /cby Jacques Yves Guigné, Philippe Blondel.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 108 p. 84 illus., 72 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Oceanography,x2196-12120 aIntroduction -- The Need Fof Seabed And Sub-Seabed Data -- Imaging Of The Near-Surface -- Imaging Into The Sub-Seabed -- Acostic Seabed Interrogation -- Volumetric Sub-Bottom Imaging.-The Future Of Acoustic Seabed Interrogation.  aOffshore drilling and constructions require exact knowledge of the geophysical properties of the seabed and sub-seabed, as unexpected objects can slow down or halt projects. This book presents the state-of-the-art in acoustic exploration of the seabed and sub-seabed, from initial designs in the 1980s to commercial contracting and operation of the Acoustic Corer™ in the last decade. The Acoustic Corer™ is a high-definition commercial acoustic sub-bottom imaging system, producing an “acoustic core” within which sub-seabed sedimentary characteristics and discrete buried objects larger than 0.5 m can be identified and mapped. It makes use of the innovative JYG-cross design, inspired by seismic reflection and uses Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) multi-angle scattering in and within the seabed to deliver unprecedented imagery. This book was written by the inventor of these concepts, a known specialist in seabed acoustics, with help from an experienced academic and author. It is intended first and foremost as a “how-to” guide for offshore industries looking at techniques to make the installation of different types of structures safe and efficient. 0aOceanography. 0aOcean engineering. 0aGeophysics.14aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aOffshore Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2307024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180091 aBlondel, Philippe.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331902578008iPrinted edition:z9783319025803 0aSpringerBriefs in Oceanography,x2196-121240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02579-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03381nam a22004335i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245014100261250001800402264007500420300006400495336002600559337002600585338003600611347002400647505067700671520106101348650002002409650009102429700007502520700007702595710003402672773002002706776003602726776003602762776003602798856004602834912001402880950005302894978-3-319-50171-0DE-He21320191026101606.0cr nn 008mamaa170321s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195017109978-3-319-50171-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-50171-02doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aRethinking Resilience, Adaptation and Transformation in a Time of Changeh[electronic resource] /cedited by Wanglin Yan, Will Galloway.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 396 p. 96 illus., 80 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

Bringing together contributions from Japanese authors, the book also offers a rare English-language glimpse into current policy and practice in Japan since the 2011 Tohoku disaster. The growth of resilience as a common point of contact for fields as disparate as economics, architecture and population politics reflects a shared concern about our capacity to cope with and adapt to change. The ability to bounce back from hardship and disaster is essential to all of our futures. Yet, if such ability is to be sustainable, and not rely on a “brute force” response, innovation will need to become a core practice for policymakers and on-the-ground responders alike. The book offers a valuable reference guide for graduate students, researchers and policy analysts who are looking for a holistic but practical approach to resilience planning. 0aClimate change.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U120071 aYan, Wanglin.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGalloway, Will.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950169708iPrinted edition:z978331950170308iPrinted edition:z978331984334640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50171-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02973nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100007900268245016800347250001800515264007500533300006100608336002600669337002600695338003600721347002400757490004900781520091500830650001601745650002601761650009501787650012701882650011302009700008102122710003402203773002002237776003602257776003602293830004902329856004602378912001402424950005302438978-3-319-46358-2DE-He21320191220130443.0cr nn 008mamaa161109s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194635829978-3-319-46358-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-46358-22doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aSansò, Fernando.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGeodetic Boundary Value Problem: the Equivalence between Molodensky’s and Helmert’s Solutionsh[electronic resource] /cby Fernando Sansò, Michael G.

Although DC is known to be an improperly posed operation, classical methods seem to provide numerically sensible results, and therefore it can be concluded that such classical methods must in fact be manifestations of different, mathematically sound approaches. Here, the authors first prove the equivalence of Molodensky’s and Stoke's approaches with Helmert’s reduction in terms of both BVP formulation and BVP solutions by means of the DC method. They then go on to show that this is not merely a downward continuation operation, and provide more rigorous interpretations of the DC approach as a change of boundary approach and as a pseudo BVP solution approach. 0aGeophysics. 0aMathematical physics.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/M1312024aGeophysics and Environmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P320001 aSideris, Michael G.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946357508iPrinted edition:z9783319463599 0aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,x2191-536940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46358-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04933nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245013000255250001800385264007500403300006900478336002600547337002600573338003600599347002400635490006400659505071000723520205801433650003803491650001703529650012103546650011203667700007303779700007803852700007703930700008104007710003404088773002004122776003604142776003604178776003604214830006404250856004604314912001404360950005304374978-3-319-45123-7DE-He21320190703151302.0cr nn 008mamaa161014s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194512379978-3-319-45123-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-45123-72doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522314aThe Rise of Big Spatial Datah[electronic resource] /cedited by Igor Ivan, Alex Singleton, Jiří Horák, Tomáš Inspektor.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVII, 408 p. 155 illus., 129 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aLecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography,x1863-22460 aApplication of WEB-GIS for Dissemination and 3D Visualization of Larege-Volume LIDAR Data -- Design and Evaluation of WEBGL-BASED Heat Map Visualization for Big Point Data -- Sparse Big Data Problem: A Case Study of Czech Graffiti Crimes -- Surveying of Open Pit Mine Using Low-Cost Aerial Photogrammetry -- Models for Relocation of Emergency Medical Stations -- The Possibilities of Big GIS Data Processing on the Desktop Computers -- Creating Large Size of Data with Apache Hadoop -- Processing LIDAR Data with Apache Hadoop -- Applicability of Support Vector Machines in Landslide Susceptibility Mapping -- Integration of Heterogeneous Data in the Support of the Forest Protection - Structural Concept.  aThis edited volume gathers the proceedings of the Symposium GIS Ostrava 2016, the Rise of Big Spatial Data, held at the Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, March 16–18, 2016. Combining theoretical papers and applications by authors from around the globe, it summarises the latest research findings in the area of big spatial data and key problems related to its utilisation. Welcome to dawn of the big data era: though it’s in sight, it isn’t quite here yet. Big spatial data is characterised by three main features: volume beyond the limit of usual geo-processing, velocity higher than that available using conventional processes, and variety, combining more diverse geodata sources than usual. The popular term denotes a situation in which one or more of these key properties reaches a point at which traditional methods for geodata collection, storage, processing, control, analysis, modelling, validation and visualisation fail to provide effective solutions. Entering the era of big spatial data calls for finding solutions that address all “small data” issues that soon create “big data” troubles. Resilience for big spatial data means solving the heterogeneity of spatial data sources (in topics, purpose, completeness, guarantee, licensing, coverage etc.), large volumes (from gigabytes to terabytes and more), undue complexity of geo-applications and systems (i.e. combination of standalone applications with web services, mobile platforms and sensor networks), neglected automation of geodata preparation (i.e. harmonisation, fusion), insufficient control of geodata collection and distribution processes (i.e. scarcity and poor quality of metadata and metadata systems), limited analytical tool capacity (i.e. domination of traditional causal-driven analysis), low visual system performance, inefficient knowledge-discovery techniques (for transformation of vast amounts of information into tiny and essential outputs) and much more. These trends are accelerating as sensors become more ubiquitous around the world. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aData mining.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aData Mining and Knowledge Discovery.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I180301 aIvan, Igor.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSingleton, Alex.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHorák, Jiří.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aInspektor, Tomáš.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945122008iPrinted edition:z978331945124408iPrinted edition:z9783319832166 0aLecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography,x1863-224640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45123-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04244nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245015800251250001800409264007500427300006600502336002600568337002600594338003600620347002400656505106100680520114801741650002102889650002902910650002602939650013602965650010003101650012603201700008003327700008003407710003403487773002003521776003603541776003603577776003603613856004603649912001403695950005303709978-3-319-51804-6DE-He21320191022032637.0cr nn 008mamaa170306s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195180469978-3-319-51804-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-51804-62doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aUrban Design and Representationh[electronic resource] :bA Multidisciplinary and Multisensory Approach /cedited by Barbara E.A.

Bringing together contributions by researchers and practicing professionals that approach the topics discussed from both theoretical and practical perspectives and draw on case-study applications, it addresses important themes including digital modeling, physical modeling, mapping, and simulation. The chapters are linked by their relevance to simple but crucial questions: How can representational solutions enhance an urban design approach in which people’s well-being is considered the primary goal? How can one best represent and design the ambiance of places? What kinds of technologies and tools are available to support multisensory urban design? How can current and future environments be optimally represented and simulated, taking into account the way in which we experience places? Shedding new light on these key questions, the book offers both a reference guide for those engaged in applied research, and a toolkit for professionals and students. 0aUrban geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aApplication software.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aInformation Systems Applications (incl.

The book explains these two kinds of urban forms (sprawl and compact urban development) in detail regarding their advantages, disadvantages, indicators, assessment, modeling, implementation and their relationship with urban sustainability. It confirms that the proposed modeling approaches, geospatial data and GIS are very practical for identifying urban growth, land use change patterns and their general trends in future. The analyses and modeling approaches presented in this book can be employed to guide the identification and measurements of the changes and growth likely to happen in urban areas. In addition, this book can be helpful for town planning and development in order to design urban areas in a compact form and eventually sustainable manner. 0aUrban geography. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aCivil engineering.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T230041 aPradhan, Biswajeet.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954216408iPrinted edition:z978331954218808iPrinted edition:z978331985344440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54217-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04510nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245018400251250001800435264006500453300006500518336002600583337002600609338003600635347002400671490003800695505072900733520126301462650002102725650003802746650002402784650002902808650013602837650012102973650013403094650010003228700007703328700008003405700007803485700008003563710003403643773002003677776003603697776003603733776003603769830003803805856004603843912001403889950005303903978-981-10-3241-7DE-He21320191024182247.0cr nn 008mamaa170329s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110324179978-981-10-3241-77 a10.1007/978-981-10-3241-72doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aUrban Development in Asia and Africah[electronic resource] :bGeospatial Analysis of Metropolises /cedited by Yuji Murayama, Courage Kamusoko, Akio Yamashita, Ronald C.

State-of-the-art geospatial tools and techniques, including geographic information system/science and remote sensing, were used to facilitate the analysis. In addition to the empirical results, the methodological approaches employed and discussed in this book showcase the potential of geospatial analysis, e.g. land-change modeling for improving our understanding of the trends and patterns of urban growth in Asia and Africa. Furthermore, given the complexity of the urban growth process across the world, issues raised in this book will contribute to the improvement of future geospatial analysis of urban growth in the developing regions. This book is written for researchers, academicians, practitioners, and graduate students. The inclusion of the origin and brief history of each of the selected metropolitan regions, including the analysis of their urban primacy, spatiotemporal patterns of urban land-use changes, driving forces of urban development, and implications for future sustainable development, makes the book an important reference for various related studies. 0aUrban geography. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aPhysical geography. 0aSustainable development.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1900024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aMurayama, Yuji.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKamusoko, Courage.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aYamashita, Akio.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aEstoque, Ronald C.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103240008iPrinted edition:z978981103242408iPrinted edition:z9789811098239 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3241-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04609nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100007800254245017500332250001800507264006700525300006700592336002600659337002600685338003600711347002400747490004400771505145900815520074502274650003003019650002503049650001903074650002203093650010103115650010003216650011603316700007603432700007703508700007603585700007503661710003403736773002003770776003603790776003603826776003603862830004403898856004603942912001403988950005304002978-1-4939-6616-5DE-He21320191025181820.0cr nn 008mamaa161209s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97814939661659978-1-4939-6616-57 a10.1007/978-1-4939-6616-52doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.72231 aWood, Matthew D.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMental Modeling Approachh[electronic resource] :bRisk Management Application Case Studies /cby Matthew D.

In this first phase of the LCA framework (ISO standardized), the purpose of the assessment is defined and decisions are made about the details of the industrial system being studied and how the study will be conducted. Selecting impact categories, category indicators, characterization models, and peer review is decided during goal and scope definition. The book provides practical guidance and an overview of LCIA methods available in LCA software.

Innovative technologies in managing marginal salt affected lands merit immediate attention in the light of climate change and its impact on crop productivity and environment. The decision-making process related to reclamation and management of vast areas of salt affected soils encompasses consideration of economic viability, environmental sustainability, and social acceptability of different approaches. The chapters in this book highlight the significant environmental and social impacts of different ameliorative techniques used to manage salt affected soils. Readers will discover new knowledge on the distribution, reactions, changes in bio-chemical properties and microbial ecology of salt affected soils through case studies exploring Indian soils. The contributions presented by experts shed new light on techniques such as the restoration of degraded lands by growing halophyte plant species, diversification of crops and introduction of microbes for remediation of salt infested soils, and the use of fluorescent pseudomonads for enhancing crop yields. . 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aPlant physiology. 0aAgriculture. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental engineering. 0aBiotechnology. 0aMicrobiology.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aPlant Physiology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L3302024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3300024aApplied Microbiology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C120101 aArora, Sanjay.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSingh, Atul K.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSingh, Y.P.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331948256908iPrinted edition:z978331948258308iPrinted edition:z978331983897740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48257-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02527nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256100007800270245010300348250001800451264006700469300006800536336002600604337002600630338003600656347002400692490004000716505021000756520030800966650001801274650002301292650002401315650010401339650009501443700007401538700008201612710003401694773002001728776003601748776003601784776003601820830004001856856004601896912001401942950005301956978-94-017-8585-3DE-He21320191220130708.0cr nn 008mamaa170518s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894017858539978-94-017-8585-37 a10.1007/978-94-017-8585-32doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.42231 aVrščaj, Borut.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Soils of Sloveniah[electronic resource] /cby Borut Vrščaj, Blaž Repe, Primož Simončič.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVI, 216 p. 212 illus., 209 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aWorld Soils Book Series,x2211-12550 aIntroduction,- Regions and Landscapes -- Factors of Soil Formation -- Slovenian Soil Classification and WRB -- An Overview of Soils of Slovenia -- Soil Distribution -- Soil Information -- Soil Degradation.  aThis books gives a complete overview of the Soils of Slovenia, from soil research history, climate, geology, geomorphology, major soil types, soil maps, soil propoerties, classification, fertility, land use and vegetation, soil management, soils and humans, soils and industries and future soils issues. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aPhysical geography.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J160001 aRepe, Blaž.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aSimončič, Primož.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940178584608iPrinted edition:z978940178586008iPrinted edition:z9789402414035 0aWorld Soils Book Series,x2211-125540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-8585-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03000nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001700188072002300205072001600228082001400244100007800258245013200336250001800468264007500486300006700561336002600628337002600654338003600680347002400716505029200740520084201032650001801874650002601892650001801918650008901936650011802025650011202143710003402255773002002289776003602309776003602345776003602381856004602417912001402463950005302477978-3-319-49634-4DE-He21320191029031917.0cr nn 008mamaa170211s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194963449978-3-319-49634-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-49634-42doi 4aQE514-516.5 7aRBGK2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRBGK2thema04a551.92231 aBurnham, Alan K.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGlobal Chemical Kinetics of Fossil Fuelsh[electronic resource] :bHow to Model Maturation and Pyrolysis /cby Alan K.

It particularly focuses on the geophysical examination of seismic activity in the region related to the interaction of the Afro-Arabian and Eurasian lithospheric plates. It is aimed at scientists, engineers and students interested in the commercial potential of Azerbaijan’s deposits and the application of different geophysical methodologies (gravity, magnetic, seismic, thermal, electric, electromagnetic, etc.) for analyzing mud volcanism, identifying subsurface structures (including the analysis of hydrogeological problems, the examination of past climates and archaeological inspection) revealing the deep tectono-structural peculiarities of the region under study, mining and oil & gas geophysics, development of 3D physical-geological models and advanced seismological prognosis. 0aMineral resources. 0aEconomic geology. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aHydrogeology.14aMineral Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3801024aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1701024aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G190051 aGuliyev, Ibrahim S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aKadirov, Fakhraddin A.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aEppelbaum, Lev V.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940492908iPrinted edition:z978331940494308iPrinted edition:z9783319821177 0aRegional Geology Reviews,x2364-643840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40493-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04559nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000700172072001600179072002300195072001500218082001400233245015700247250001800404264007500422300006700497336002600564337002600590338003600616347002400652490005500676505091800731520146701649650002403116650003103140650001703171650009503188650009903283650008803382700007803470700007703548700008603625710003403711773002003745776003603765776003603801776003603837830005503873856004603928912001403974950005303988978-3-319-50574-9DE-He21320191023181531.0cr nn 008mamaa170321s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195057499978-3-319-50574-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-50574-92doi 4aGF 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.222310aPre-Inca and Inca Potteryh[electronic resource] :bQuebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina /cedited by Agustina Scaro, Clarisa Otero, Maria Beatriz Cremonte.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 235 p. 112 illus., 97 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,x2366-34210 aChapter 1.

The aim of this volume is to contribute to Quebrada de Humahuaca archaeological knowledge and its inclusion in current discussions about Andean and worldwide history of pottery production. In 2003, Quebrada de Humahuaca was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Numerous tracks, roads and settlements testify to its pre-Hispanic and post pre-Hispanic history from pre-ceramic to colonial times. Due to its strategic position Quebrada de Humahuaca has been colonized by both the Inca and the Spaniards. It also has been a stage for many battles of the Argentine War of Independence.  The richness and abundance of ceramic material evidence in the landscape of the Quebrada de Humahuaca has provided archaeologists information about human behaviour and social practices both in every and ritual activities. Quebrada de Humahuaca, in the province of Jujuy (the northernmost sector of Argentina) is one of the most widely recognized archaeological zones and one of the most widely studied. Through extensive excavations of the most conspicuous settlements, archaeologists managed to characterize these pre-Hispanic agricultural societies and construct chronologies of northwestern Argentina, and to elaborate models of trans-Andean population dynamics. 0aCultural geography. 0aEthnology—Latin America. 0aArchaeology.14aCultural Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J2200024aLatin American Culture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41108024aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X130001 aScaro, Agustina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aOtero, Clarisa.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCremonte, Maria Beatriz.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950573208iPrinted edition:z978331950575608iPrinted edition:z9783319844329 0aThe Latin American Studies Book Series,x2366-342140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50574-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02873nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222072001500236082001500251245011900266250001800385264007500403300006400478336002600542337002600568338003600594347002400630490011000654505029000764520030101054650001901355650003001374650001901404650002101423650002901444650009001473650010101563650010601664650010001770700007601870710003401946773002001980776003602000776003602036776003602072830011002108856004602218912001402264950005302278978-3-319-46945-4DE-He21320191028081213.0cr nn 008mamaa161114s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194694549978-3-319-46945-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-46945-42doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aPSB2thema04a571.9522310aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 241h[electronic resource] /cedited by Pim de Voogt.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 163 p. 15 illus., 6 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Continuation of Residue Reviews,x0179-5953 ;v2410 a1 Gene expression profiling in fish toxicology: a review -- 2 Review of the Ecotoxicological Properties of the Methylenedianiline Substances -- 3 Cadmium bioavailability, uptake, toxicity and detoxification in soil-plant system -- 4 Radionuclides: Accumulation and Transport in Plants.  aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology attempts to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of xenobiotics, in any segment of the environment, as well as toxicological implications. 0aEcotoxicology. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aWater quality. 0aWater pollution. 0aEnvironmental chemistry.14aEcotoxicology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2500124aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aWater Quality/Water Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21200024aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U150001 ade Voogt, Pim.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946944708iPrinted edition:z978331946946108iPrinted edition:z9783319836249 0aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Continuation of Residue Reviews,x0179-5953 ;v24140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46945-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04589nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238100008200253245015600335250001800491264009800509300004300607336002600650337002600676338003600702347002400738505071800762520197201480650002503452650001603477650002303493650002603516650009603542650008703638650011203725700007903837710003403916773002003950776003603970856004604006912001404052950005304066978-1-61091-800-8DE-He21320191025012431.0cr nn 008mamaa170330s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109180089978-1-61091-800-87 a10.5822/978-1-61091-800-82doi 4aQH75-77 7aRNK2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRNK2thema04a333.722231 aWondolleck, Julia M.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMarine Ecosystem-Based Management in Practiceh[electronic resource] :bDifferent Pathways, Common Lessons /cby Julia M.

Rather than lamenting the persistent conflicts in global marine ecosystems, they instead sought out examples where managers were doing things differently and making progress against great odds. They interviewed planners, managers, community members, fishermen, and environmentalists throughout the world to find the best lessons for others hoping to advance marine conservation. Their surprising discovery? Successful marine management requires not only the right mix of science, law, financing, and organizational structure, but also an atmosphere of collaboration—a comfortable place for participants to learn about issues, craft solutions, and develop the interpersonal relationships, trust, and understanding needed to put plans into action. This volume is the first practical guide for the marine conservation realm. In a unique collection of case studies, the authors showcase successful collaborative approaches to ecosystem-based management. The authors introduce the basic concepts of ecosystem-based management and five different pathways for making progress from community to multinational levels. They spotlight the characteristics that are evident in all successful cases —the governance structures and social motivations that make it work. Case analyses ranging from the Gulf of Maine to the Channel Islands in Southern California comprise the bulk of the book, augmented by text boxes showcasing examples of guiding documents important to the process. They devote several ending chapters to discussion of the interpersonal relationships critical to successful implementation of marine ecosystem-based management. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications for policy and on-the-ground practice. This book offers a hopeful message to policy makers, managers, practitioners, and students who will find this an indispensable guide to field-tested, replicable marine conservation management practices that work.>. 0aNature conservation. 0aEcosystems. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U160021 aYaffee, Steven L.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091875640uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-800-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04353nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001600223082001400239100007300253245022500326250001800551264007500569300005500644336002600699337002600725338003600751347002400787490005400811505036400865520155201229650002902781650002102810650001502831650002802846650002002874650002302894650010002917650011103017650011303128650013103241650009803372710003403470773002003504776003603524776003603560776003603596830005403632856004603686912001403732950005303746978-3-319-51556-4DE-He21320191029031908.0cr nn 008mamaa170210s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195155649978-3-319-51556-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-51556-42doi 4aHC79.E5 7aKCN2bicssc 7aBUS0690002bisacsh 7aKCVG2thema04a333.72231 aOwen, Anne.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aTechniques for Evaluating the Differences in Multiregional Input-Output Databasesh[electronic resource] :bA Comparative Evaluation of CO2 Consumption-Based Accounts Calculated Using Eora, GTAP and WIOD /cby Anne Owen.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXII, 217 p. 44 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aDevelopments in Input-Output Analysis,x2511-21390 aChapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Literature review -- Chapter 3 Methodology and data -- Chapter 4 Using matrix difference statistics to compare MRIO databases -- Chapter 5 Using decomposition techniques to determine cause of difference in MRIO databases -- Chapter 6 Discussion -- Chapter 7 Conclusion -- Chapter 8 List of References -- Chapter 9 Appendix.  aThis book introduces the Eora, Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) and World Input-Output (WIOD) databases and provides detailed metadata on the data sources, database structures and construction techniques used to build each system. It offers a detailed account of how multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases are used to calculate consumption-based accounts – guiding the reader through each mathematical step and explaining the associated equations. It demonstrates that different MRIO databases calculate different national level consumption-based CO2 accounts. If these results are to be used as evidence in climate policy-making, analysts need to be confident about the accuracy of the databases and understand why the results differ. It carefully explains the mathematical equations behind each technique and provides a link to a repository where the reader can access specially prepared MATLAB functions associated with the techniques. To make meaningful comparisons between the three MRIO databases, each is mapped to a consistent classification system comprising 40 countries and 17 sectors. Further, readers can access the aggregated databases using the link provided. The effect of this aggregation is shown to be minimal, so readers can be confident that the aggregated versions of each database reflect the full-sized versions. The book concludes by making recommendations as to how future MRIO databases could be accurately and consistently constructed and how they should be used in policy-making in light of the findings. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEconomic policy. 0aEconomics. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aMacroeconomics. 0aComputer software.14aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4600024aMath.

Conclusion (Zafar Adeel).  aThis volume calls upon over a dozen Indus observers to imagine a scenario for the Indus basin in which transboundary cooperation over water resources overcomes the insecurity arising from water dependence and scarcity. From diverse perspectives, its essays examine the potential benefits to be gained from revisiting the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, as well as from mounting joint efforts to increase water supply, to combat climate change, to develop hydroelectric power, and to improve water management. The Indus basin is shared by four countries (Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan). The basin’s significance stems in part simply from the importance of these countries, three of them among the planet’s most populous states, one of them boasting the world’s second largest economy, and three of them members of the exclusive nuclear weapons club. However, the basin’s significance stems also from the great importance of the Indus waters themselves – due especially to the region’s massive dependence on irrigated agriculture as well as to the menace of climate change and advancing water scarcity.  The “Industan” this volume imagines is a definite departure from business as usual responses to the Indus basin’s emerging fresh water crisis. The objective is to kindle serious discussion of the cooperation needed to confront what many water experts believe is developing into one of the planet’s most gravely threatened river basins. It is thus both assessment of the current state of play in regard to water security in the Indus basin and recommendation about where to go from here. 0aWater pollution. 0aInternational relations. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHydrology. 0aClimate change. 0aWater quality.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aInternational Relations.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91200024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aWater Quality/Water Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2120001 aAdeel, Zafar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWirsing, Robert G.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331932843008iPrinted edition:z978331932844708iPrinted edition:z9783319813820 0aWater Security in a New World,x2367-400840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-32845-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04730nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172050001600188072001700204072002300221072001600244082001400260245019600274250001800470264007500488300006800563336002600631337002600657338003600683347002400719490004400743505126200787520086702049650002402916650002302940650001902963650001802982650002303000650009503023650009403118650009003212650011203302650009203414700007903506700007603585700007503661700008503736710003403821773002003855776003603875776003603911776003603947830004403983856004604027912001404073950005304087978-3-319-44726-1DE-He21320191022012359.0cr nn 008mamaa161123s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194472619978-3-319-44726-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-44726-12doi 4aQE601-613.5 4aQE500-639.5 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.822310aLithosphere Dynamics and Sedimentary Basins of the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Areash[electronic resource] /cedited by François Roure, Ammar A.

This work should be of interest to ocean acoustic engineers and physicists, as well as graduate students and course instructors. The seabed is neither a liquid nor a solid, but a fluid saturated porous material that obeys the wave equations of a poroelastic medium, which are significantly more complicated than the equations of either a liquid or a solid. This volume presents a model of seabed acoustics with input parameters that allow the model to cover a wide range of sediment types. The author includes example reflection and transmission curves which may be used as typical for a range of sediment types.

Advances in microbial technologies are explored in chapters dealing with topics such as plant-microbe interactions, rhizoremediation and cyanoremediation, and bio-immobilization. Volume II is a collection of research findings that invites readers to examine the application of microbes in pollution reduction, decontamination of agro- and aquatic ecosystems, and remediation of various toxic compounds. Highly readable entries attempt to close the knowledge gap between soil microbial associations and sustainable agriculture. Traditional agricultural management techniques have relied heavily on application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides; and recent land use change practices have led to over exploitation of natural resources. Strategies outlined here simplify a complicated picture of the way microbial communities can improve the quality of environment and eliminate food scarcity in the coming generations. This work is a significant contribution to research in this increasingly important discipline of soil sciences, and will appeal to researchers in microbiology, agriculture, environmental sciences, and soil and crop sciences. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aAgriculture. 0aMicrobial ecology. 0aSustainable development. 0aEcosystems. 0aEnvironmental chemistry.14aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aMicrobial Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1908224aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U150001 aSingh, Jay Shankar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSeneviratne, Gamini.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949726608iPrinted edition:z978331949728008iPrinted edition:z978331984225740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49727-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05066nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001400242100007900256245017200335250001800507264007500525300004300600336002600643337002600669338003600695347002400731490006300755505093700818520168301755650002603438650003003464650002803494650002903522650001903551650002303570650009703593650012303690650011303813650010003926650009004026650009404116710003404210773002004244776003604264776003604300830006304336856004604399912001404445950005304459978-3-319-55056-5DE-He21320191028142316.0cr nn 008mamaa170510s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195505659978-3-319-55056-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-55056-52doi 4aGE170-190 7aJPQB2bicssc 7aPOL0440002bisacsh 7aJPQB2thema04a354.32231 aKeremane, Ganesh.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGovernance of Urban Wastewater Reuse for Agricultureh[electronic resource] :bA Framework for Understanding and Action in Metropolitan Regions  /cby Ganesh Keremane.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 117 p. 10 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,x2194-72440 a1.

References.  aThis book presents a conceptual and practical tool for those involved directly or indirectly in the planning and management of basic provision of water supply, wastewater and stormwater services in metropolitan regions by offering insights into governance paradigms and institutional arrangements for urban wastewater reuse in agriculture from Australia and India. Instead of focusing on the technical aspects of designing and building infrastructure, it provides a better understanding of the institutional and governance challenges of managing urban wastewater, particularly for reuse in agriculture. As water supplies fall and water stress increases in many areas, the potential of wastewater as a resource is being widely recognized. Today, wastewater (re)use has become an attractive option for conserving and expanding available water supplies. While wastewater (re)use can have many applications, its use in agriculture is the most established, and the one with the longest tradition. Given the growing competition for freshwater from industry and cities, without doubt there is going to be a rapid increase in the global use of treated wastewater, making improved wastewater use in agriculture an emerging priority. Even though it is a vast resource if we reclaim it properly, often most wastewater is wasted. Therefore, in order to realize the full potential of this resource, decision support in policy design and implementation (Institutions and Governance) is key. Institutions and governance frameworks need to provide for the rights of access, rights of ownership, rights to manage source and treated water and the obligations of final use of recycling operations. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEvolutionary economics. 0aSustainable development. 0aPublic policy. 0aNatural resources.14aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aInstitutional/Evolutionary Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W5301024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aPublic Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91106024aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U390002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955055808iPrinted edition:z9783319550572 0aSpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,x2194-724440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55056-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05502nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256245015800270250001800428264007500446300006600521336002600587337002600613338003600639347002400675505291700699520070203616650001804318650002304336650003004359650010404389650010104493700007404594700007704668710003404745773002004779776003604799776003604835776003604871856004604907912001404953950005304967978-3-319-45417-7DE-He21320191025191739.0cr nn 008mamaa170119s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194541779978-3-319-45417-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-45417-72doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.422310aSoil Science Working for a Living h[electronic resource] :bApplications of soil science to present-day problems /cedited by David Dent, Yuriy Dmytruk.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 290 p. 89 illus., 50 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aEditors' introduction -- Part I: Soil development: properties and qualities -- Chapter 1.

A Contextual Comparison of Smart City Applications in Practice.  aThis book offers a selection of the best articles presented at the CUPUM (Computers in Urban Planning and Urban Management) Conference, held in the second week of July 2017 at the University of South Australia in Adelaide. It provides a state-of-the-art overview of the availability and application of planning support systems (PSS) in the context of smart cities, big data, and urban futures. Rapid advances in computing, information, communication and web-based technologies are reaching into all facets of urban life, creating new and exciting urban futures. With the universal adoption of networked computing technologies, data generation is now so massive and all pervasive in society that it offers unprecedented technological solutions for planning and managing urban futures. These technologies are essential to effective urban planning and urban management in an increasingly challenging world, with socially disruptive changes, more complex and sophisticated urban lives and the need for resilience to deal with the possibility of adverse future environmental events and climate change. The book discusses examples of these technologies which encompass, inter alia: ‘smart urban futures’, where cities with myriad sensors are networked with communication technologies that enable the city planners to monitor well-being and be responsive to citizens' needs to allow dynamic management in real-time; PSS that encompass new hardware, develop new indicators, applications and innovative ways of facilitating public and community involvement in the management and planning of urban areas; and urban modelling that draws on theory and the richness of data from the growing range of urban sensing and communication technologies to build a better understanding of urban dynamics, trends and 'what-if' scenario investigations, and to provide better tools for planning and policymaking.

Conclusions.             .  aThis book focuses on the effects of industrial effluents, specifically those generated from tanneries, on aquatic life i.e. fish. Readers will learn about the impacts of untreated effluents that find its way into potable water bodies, rivers and lakes. A detailed analysis of the morphological and reproductive responses of fish to Chromium VI, a carcinogen and hazardous metal, will be provided.  Particular attention is given to the effects of these effluents on the guppy, a fish used for the biological control of malaria. Students and researchers in environmental science, biology, ecology, marine and freshwater sciences will find the book most appealing. Freshwater ecologists working in the field and managers responsible for the protection and monitoring of natural areas will also find this book interesting. 0aEcotoxicology. 0aPollution prevention. 0aWildlife. 0aFish. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aEcotoxicology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2500124aIndustrial Pollution Prevention.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3502024aFish & Wildlife Biology & Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2508024aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U360002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331957653408iPrinted edition:z9783319576558 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57654-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03464nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236100008200251245012900333250001800462264007500480300006700555336002600622337002600648338003600674347002400710490003800734505015000772520119300922650002102115650002902136650001902165650002602184650013602210650010002346650009002446650009702536710003402633773002002667776003602687776003602723776003602759830003802795856004602833912001402879950005302893978-3-319-49418-0DE-He21320191021232351.0cr nn 008mamaa170104s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194941809978-3-319-49418-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-49418-02doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.762231 aObermayr, Christian.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSustainable City Managementh[electronic resource] :bInformal Settlements in Surakarta, Indonesia /cby Christian Obermayr.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIII, 190 p. 56 illus., 44 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X0 a1 Introduction -- 2 Urban development – Challenges -- 3 Indonesia -- 4 Surakarta (solo) – A case study -- 5 Concluding remarks -- 6 Appendix.  aThis book analyses the housing and governance policies of the city of Surakarta, in Indonesia. It addresses the question of whether Surakarta’s strategy for handling the city’s informal sector and marginal settlements shows evidence of sustainability and good governance. The book illustrates current trends in urban development and discussions on effective strategies for improving living conditions in slums on both a global and national scale. Using four main programs as examples, it presents a detailed overview of Surakarta’s housing policies regarding the poor. It critically evaluates the city’s relocation measures and shows that Surakarta’s city government has put into place an effective policy, reaching the poor by inclusive approaches. Influenced by global discussions and best practices, the programs examined are characterized by elements of good governance and Solo’s strategies have already been disseminated to other Indonesian cities. However, the book argues that deficits remain regarding participation and transparency.   The work is based on Christian Obermayr's outstanding Master’s thesis, defended in 2013 at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. 0aUrban geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aPublic policy. 0aEconomic development.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aPublic Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91106024aRegional Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9130502 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949417308iPrinted edition:z978331949419708iPrinted edition:z9783319841588 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49418-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05663nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245018500268250001800453264007800471300003300549336002600582337002600608338003600634347002400670490004000694505269100734520094903425650001604374650009504390700007904485700008204564700008904646700007404735700008104809710003404890773002004924776003604944776003604980830004005016856004605056912001405102950005305116978-3-319-51529-8DE-He21320191027001402.0cr nn 008mamaa170426s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195152989978-3-319-51529-87 a10.1007/978-3-319-51529-82doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aGeodynamics of the Latin American Pacific Marginh[electronic resource] /cedited by William L.

Processes investigated in these papers include the subduction of buoyant ridges and spreading centers, ophiolite emplacement, plate margin truncation, forearc deformation, mantle convection, magma emplacement and associated continental rifting, and the release of energy by great earthquakes as well as slow slip events. These studies illustrate the vast and varied research opportunities that exist along the margin, and will be a welcome addition to the library of those who are actively investigating the geodynamics of the Latin American Pacific margin as well as those interested in the subduction process in general. 0aGeophysics.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180091 aBandy, William L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aDañobeitia, Juanjo.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGutiérrez, Carlos Mortera.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTaran, Yuri.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBartolomé, Rafael.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951528108iPrinted edition:z9783319515304 0aPageoph Topical Volumes,x2504-362540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51529-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04307nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245014200254250001800396264006500414300006800479336002600547337002600573338003600599347002400635490008700659505073600746520113901482650003002621650002602651650002602677650002102703650002902724650010102753650009702854650010802951650016403059650010003223700008003323710003403403773002003437776003603457776003603493776003603529830008703565856004603652912001403698950005303712978-981-10-1866-4DE-He21320191023181550.0cr nn 008mamaa161014s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110186649978-981-10-1866-47 a10.1007/978-981-10-1866-42doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aPrinciples and Applications of Environmental Biotechnology for a Sustainable Futureh[electronic resource] /cedited by Ram Lakhan Singh.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIII, 487 p. 115 illus., 81 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aApplied Environmental Science and Engineering for a Sustainable Future,x2570-21650 a1.

This book shows that water markets fail because of high transaction costs, resulting in inefficient allocations and unpredictable environmental effects. To overcome these obstacles, this book proposes a trading mechanism called a smart market. A smart market is an auction cleared with optimization. A smart market can reduce the transaction costs of water trading, while improving the environmental outcomes. The authors show why a smart market for water is needed, how it would work, and how to implement it. The smart market described here uses a hydrology simulation of the water resource, user bids via the internet, and mathematical optimization, to maximize the economic value of water while meeting all environmental constraints. The book provides the background to understand the smart market for water, and the detail to help the reader start working on its application. The book explores topics such as: Why water should be more expensive near sensitive environmental locations, Ways to set initial allocations of water rights, The role of regulatory oversight, The prerequisites of a water market, and How to counter objections to water markets. The culmination of a decade of investigation, this book combines explanation, examples, and detail to inform policymakers, large water users, environmental organizations, researchers, and a thirsty public. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHydrogeology. 0aOperations research. 0aManagement science. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state.14aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aOperations Research, Management Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/M2602424aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1120001 aMilke, Mark W.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955007708iPrinted edition:z978331955009108iPrinted edition:z9783319855431 0aGlobal Issues in Water Policy,x2211-0631 ;v1240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55008-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02954nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236245011700248250001800365264008200383300004400465336002600509337002600535338003600561347002400597490003600621505019300657520062700850650002301477650002601500650001801526650009401544650011801638650011201756700007301868700007401941700007402015700007202089710003402161773002002195776003602215776003602251830003602287856004602323912001402369950005302383978-3-662-53284-3DE-He21320191029011631.0cr nn 008mamaa161202s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625328439978-3-662-53284-37 a10.1007/978-3-662-53284-32doi 4aTN260 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a55322310aPhysics of Petroleum Reservoirsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Xuetao Hu, Shuyong Hu, Fayang Jin, Su Huang.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 506 p. 290 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Mineralogy,x2366-15850 aThe Physical Properties of Reservoir Rocks -- The Physical Properties of Reservoir Fluids -- Flow Mechanism of Multiphase Fluid Through Porous Media -- Principles of Enhanced Oil Recovery.  aThis book introduces in detail the physical and chemical phenomena and processes during petroleum production.

Cratons, as the oldest, differentiated and relatively stable pieces of the continental lithosphere, preserve a substantial part of the Earth's memory. Orogenic belts, on the other hand, record collisional processes that occurred during a limited time span. Because of their topographic relief, mountain belts developed along craton margins provide however access to rock successions not exposed in the low lands of the adjacent cratons. The combination of geologic information obtained in cratonic domains and their marginal orogenic belts thus form the basis for deciphering substantial periods of Earth’s history. Corresponding to the most intensively studied portion of the Precambrian nucleus of the South American plate, the São Francisco craton and its margins host a rock record that spans from the Paleoarchean to the Cenozoic. Precambrian sedimentary successions that witness ancient Earth processes - many of them of global significance - are especially well preserved and exposed in this region. With all these attributes the São Francisco craton together with its fringing orogenic belts can be viewed as a ‘continent within a continent’ or a ‘continent in miniature’. 0aGeology. 0aStructural geology. 0aHistorical geology. 0aEconomic geology.14aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1704024aHistorical Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1702024aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170101 aHeilbron, Monica.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCordani, Umberto G.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAlkmim, Fernando F.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331901714308iPrinted edition:z978331901716708iPrinted edition:z9783319791302 0aRegional Geology Reviews,x2364-643840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-01715-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05632nam a22006135i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001400186072001500200072002300215072001400238072001500252082001400267082001200281245014300293250001800436264007500454300006600529336002600595337002600621338003600647347002400683505174200707520123602449650003103685650001903716650003203735650002403767650003003791650002903821650002603850650011603876650010303992650009504095650010104190650010004291650011804391700008204509700007804591700007404669710003404743773002004777776003604797776003604833776003604869856004604905912001404951950005304965978-3-319-51010-1DE-He21320191022151702.0cr nn 008mamaa170227s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195101019978-3-319-51010-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-51010-12doi 4aTA170-171 4aTD195.B58 7aTQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aTCB2thema04a660.622304a62822310aAlgal Biofuelsh[electronic resource] :bRecent Advances and Future Prospects /cedited by Sanjay Kumar Gupta, Anushree Malik, Faizal Bux.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 466 p. 71 illus., 49 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aRecent Advances and Future Prospects of Microalgal Lipid Biotechnology -- Comprehensive Screening of Micro and Macro-Algal Species for Bioenergy -- Microalgae for Biofuels: Applications, Process Constraints and Future Needs -- Algal Biofilm Systems – An Answer to Algal Biofuel Dilemma -- Algal Technologies for Wastewater Treatment and Biofuels Production: An Integrated Approach for Environmental Management -- Exploring Microalgae Consortia for Biomass Production: A Synthetic Ecological Engineering Approach Towards Sustainable Production of Biofuel Feedstock -- Modeling The Effects of Operational Parameters on Algae Growth -- Recent Advances in Improving Ecophysiology of Microalgae for Biofuels -- Phycoremediation of Heavy Metals Coupled with Generation of Bio-Energy -- Critical Evaluation of Algal Biofuel Production Processes Using Wastewater -- Advancements in Algal Harvesting Techniques for Biofuel Production -- Key Issues in Pilot Scale Production, Harvesting, and Processing of Algal Biomass for Bio-Fuels -- Algal Biomass Pretreatment for Improved Biofuel Production -- Environmental and Economic Sustainability of Algal Lipid Extractions: Inessential Approach for the Commercialization of Algal Biofuels -- Catalytic Conversion of Microalgal Lipids to Biodiesel: Overview and Recent Advances -- Biomethanation Potential of Algal Biomass -- Technological Advances in Biohydrogen Production from Microalgae -- Hydrothermal Liquefaction: A Promising Pathway for Biorefinery of Algae -- Recent Advances in Production of Biofuel and Commodity Chemicals from Algal Biomass -- Challenges and Opportunities in Commercialisation of Algal Biofuels -- Ecological, Economical and Life Cycle Assessment of Algae and its Biofuel.  aThis edited volume focuses on comprehensive state-of-the-art information about the practical aspects of cultivation, harvesting, biomass processing and biofuel production from algae.

Qanat related Structures.  aThis book offers a ready solution for those who wish to learn more about this fascinating part of our water history and makes accessible to the wider world the traditional knowledge gained from building and maintaining qanats for more than 2,500 years. There is much more here than a summary of the nature and distribution of qanats, and a more extensive journey through the philosophy, methods, tools, and terminology of qanat design and digging than previously assembled. Where does one begin to dig to ensure that the qanat tunnel will flow with water? How are practical considerations of landscape factored into the design? How are water quality and discharge measured? How does excavation proceed through bedrock and unconsolidated soil and how is this knowledge of geology and pedology acquired? How are vertical wells and tunnels excavated to maintain proper air supply, light, and water flow? How does one deal with special problems like tunnel collapse, the accumulation of gasses and vapors, and the pooling of water during construction? How are tools and gauges designed, maintained, and used? How have qanats been incorporated into other structures like watermills, reservoirs, ice houses, and irrigation networks? And how are qanats cleaned, extended, maintained through the ages, and incorporated into modern water supplies? The great contribution of this work is the story it tells of the ingenuity and practical skills of the qanat masters who for centuries and generations have cut an uncountable number of tunnels through bedrock and alluvium using hand tools and homespun solutions to problems that would vex the most experienced university-trained engineers. . 0aWater pollution. 0aWater-supply. 0aTechnology—History. 0aCultural heritage. 0aEthnology. 0aCivil engineering.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aWater Industry/Water Technologies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21400024aHistory of Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2900024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41900024aEthnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1207024aCivil Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T230041 aLabbaf Khaneiki, Majid.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940240955008iPrinted edition:z978940240956708iPrinted edition:z978940241448640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-0957-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03676nam a22004335i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245019000250250001800440264007500458300006300533336002600596337002600622338003600648347002400684520190000708650001702608650009702625700007902722700008402801700008202885710003402967773002003001776003603021776003603057776003603093856004603129912001403175950005303189978-3-319-57328-1DE-He21320191024011246.0cr nn 008mamaa170714s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195732819978-3-319-57328-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-57328-12doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.722310aZooarchaeology in the Neotropicsh[electronic resource] :bEnvironmental diversity and human-animal interactions /cedited by Mariana Mondini, A.

The region has a rich and singular biotic history. The collection of works included in the volume –originally presented at the Second Academic Meeting of the NZWG-ICAZ – describes some of the instances of the diverse interactions of human and faunal populations in such a setting and the particular properties characterizing the derived archaeofaunal record. Understanding the zooarchaeological imprint of human insertion and evolution in this context represents an opportunity for improving our knowledge on the many ways modern humans have dealt with the colonization of the whole globe, and on the varied forms of organization they assumed within such diverse environments. The topics covered in this volume shed light on different and complementary aspects of the state of the art in zooarchaeological research in the Neotropics, and reveal how much Neotropical zooarchaeology has been growing in the past few decades. Several chapters focus on marine resources, covering a broad range of the diversity found in the Neotropical coastal environments. Another set of chapters deals primarily with inland Neotropical animals –including terrestrial, riverine/estuarine and avian faunas– and also with varying societal organizations. Natural formation processes in Neotropical environments are also dealt with in this collection of works. Finally, Neotropical faunas also entail unique methodological challenges, and some chapters provide new information from this perspective. Altogether, these contributions help grasp how unique human-animal interactions have been in the Neotropics, and yet how much can be learnt from them even for other settings and other times. 0aEnvironment.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U000091 aMondini, Mariana.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMuñoz, A.

Sustainable ecosystems and the role of business -- Epilogue: Designing sustainable ecosystems in South Asia.  aThis is the first book to provide vital information on key local ecosystems, their functions, state of health, and their role in development in an Asian context, particularly on the Indian subcontinent. It addresses six major ecosystems on the Indian subcontinent – mountain, rural, desert, forest, urban, and freshwater – and discusses their functions, how they support livelihoods and the economy, the impacts on ecosystem services, and management issues. Asia is home to nearly one third of the global population. With massive industrialization occurring at an increasing pace to support the lifestyles of a growing population, impacts on natural ecosystems are inevitable in this region. The book also explores the concepts, theory and practice regarding these key ecosystems by linking them with the livelihoods of a large population base and subsequently illustrating their importance for sustainable development in the region. Further, by suggesting policies and ways in which these systems can be maintained and enhanced, it facilitates better management of natural resources within the ecological constraints to achieve socio-economic objectives and move towards a green economy for sustainable and equitable development in the region. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aNatural resources. 0aSustainable development. 0aEcosystems.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4801024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3900024aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X1 aSandhu, Harpinder.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953966908iPrinted edition:z978331953968308iPrinted edition:z978331985287440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53967-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06440nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245018800254250001800442264007500460300006800535336002600603337002600629338003600655347002400691505188700715520226902602650002304871650002504894650002704919650001704946650001604963650002904979650009205008650011605100650010005216700007805316700007905394700007505473700007505548710003405623773002005657776003605677776003605713776003605749856004605785912001405831950005305845978-3-319-53487-9DE-He21320191220125306.0cr nn 008mamaa170517s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195348799978-3-319-53487-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-53487-92doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a55122310aAdvancing Culture of Living with Landslidesh[electronic resource] :bVolume 3 Advances in Landslide Technology /cedited by Matjaž Mikoš, Željko Arbanas, Yueping Yin, Kyoji Sassa.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIV, 621 p. 526 illus., 500 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aRemote Sensing Techniques in Landslide Mapping and Monitoring, Keynote Lecture -- Landslide Monitoring and Warning -- Introduction: Landslide Monitoring and Warning -- Landslide Monitoring and Early Warning Systems for Landslide Occurrence Prediction -- Multisensor Landslide Monitoring as a Challenge for Early Warning: from Process Based to Statistic Based Approaches -- Wireless Sensor Networks for Early Warning of Landslides: Experiences from a Decade Long Deployment -- Design and Validation of Wireless Communication Architecture for Long term Monitoring of Landslides -- Scalable, Secure, Fail safe, and High Performance Architecture for Storage, Analysis, and Alerts in a Multi-Site Landslide Monitoring System -- A Self-adaptive Data Acquisition Technique and Its Application in Landslide Monitoring -- A New Landslide Early Warning Technology- Escorting for Life -- Prediction of displacement rates at an active landslide using joint inversion of multiple time series -- Time-prediction method of the onset of a rainfall-induced landslide based on the monitoring of shear strain and pore pressure -- Improvement of Fukuzono’s Model for time prediction of an onset of a rainfall-induced landslide -- A Full-scale Model Test for Predicting Collapse Time Using Displacement of Slope Surface during Slope Cutting Work -- Classification of microseismic activity in an unstable rock cliff -- Prediction of the process of a slowly moving loess landslide by Electrical Resistivity Tomography -- The pilot construction of a sensor-based landslide early warning system for mitigating human damages, Republic of Korea -- An early warning system of unstable slopes by multi-point MEMS tilting sensors and water contents -- Early Warning of Long Channel and Post-controlled Debris-flow Gully in Southwest China -- Landslide Monitoring and Early Warning Systems at Regional Level. <.  aThis volume contains peer-reviewed papers from the Fourth World Landslide Forum organized by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), the Global Promotion Committee of the International Programme on Landslides (IPL), University of Ljubljana (UL) and Geological Survey of Slovenia in Ljubljana, Slovenia from May 29 to June 2, 2017.

Introduction -- 2. Ichnological Basics, Principles and Concepts -- 3. Applications of Trace Fossil Analysis -- 4. Methodology in Ichnological Core Logging -- 5. Selected Trace Fossils and Associated Features in Core and Outcrop -- Index.  aThis book provides readers with a well-balanced blend of high-quality photographs, figures and accompanying texts on the identification of trace fossils, both in core and in outcrop. Ichnological data has become increasingly important in sedimentological and paleoenvironmental interpretations, not only in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons but also in the characterization of aquifers and in scientific drilling. Following an introduction to the study of trace fossils in core and an outline of ichnological basics, principles and concepts, the book provides detailed descriptions and interpretations of 39 trace fossils (ichnogenera) and associated features (such as bioturbate texture, plant roots and their traces, borings and pseudo-trace fossils) commonly encountered in well cores and in outcrop. The trace fossils are highlighted by their expression in well cores and illustrated with carefully prepared, eye-catching core photographs. This unique information is complemented by examples of trace fossils in outcrop, as well as relevant key figures from the literature. Each description is presented in a consistent manner, stating the ichnogenus name and author in the title, followed by sections on the morphology and size, ichnotaxonomy, substrate, appearance in core, similar trace fossils, producers, ethology, depositional environment, ichnofacies, age, and reservoir quality. An extensive list of references per chapter for further reading rounds out the book, which is based on the author’s continuous work with trace fossils in core over the past two decades. 0aPaleontology . 0aFossil fuels. 0aSedimentology.14aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aFossil Fuels (incl.

A Temporary Conclusion.  aThis book explores the possibility to observe the lives of cities through ubiquitous information obtained through social networks, sensors and other sources of data and information, and the ways in which this possibility describes a new form of Public Space, which can be used to define new forms of citizenship and participated city governance. The work is the result of years of research across sciences, arts, design, ethnography, cultural geography, performed by multiple researchers, understanding the Relational Ecosystems of cities (the flows of relation, information, knowledge and emotion in the city) and using them to reinterpret the concept of Urban Acupuncture: from the Third Space, Third Landscape and Third Generation City, to the Third Infoscape; from Urban Acupuncture to Digital Urban Acupuncture. The book starts by exploring the many theories and methodologies which have been used to try to capture and use the revolutionary potential found in the daily lives of cities. From De Certeau, to Latour, Bateson, Bhabha, and all the way to Castells, Clèment, Boyd, Casagrande. In a progression which moves from the Third Space (Soja, De Certeau), to the Third Landscape (Clèment), to the Third Generation City (Casagrande), to the Third Paradise (Pistoletto), the book arrives at a definition of the Third Infoscape, following up on Kevin Lynch: a new legibility and imageability of the city. Its main themes and objectives lie in the desire to observe and understand the radical transformation of the definitions, boundaries and configurations of what we call public and private spaces, in different cultures and communities, in the age of communication, information and knowledge, and to use these understandings to formulate a set of working hypotheses for the positive, constructive, active and participatory usage of these transformed scenarios, contributing to the re-definition of concepts such as citizenship, city-governance, urban planning, civic decision-making, and more. And using, in the process, techniques such as Urban Acupuncture, Actor-Network Theory, Diasporic analysis, Peer-to-peer Urbanism and more. Multiple real-life research scenarios and documented case studies will be used, from 4 continents, coming from our research and from other international contributions. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aUrban ecology (Biology). 0aMultimedia systems .14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aUrban Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1916024aMedia Design.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I250041 aPersico, Oriana.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943402508iPrinted edition:z978331943404908iPrinted edition:z978331982814540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43403-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03126nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001200240100007300252245015700325250001800482264008200500300004500582336002600627337002600653338003600679347002400715490003300739505045800772520060101230650001301831650001801844650002801862650002801890650008401918650011202002650011402114700007202228710003402300773002002334776003602354776003602390776003602426830003302462856004602495912001402541950005302555978-3-662-53287-4DE-He21320191029011617.0cr nn 008mamaa170315s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625328749978-3-662-53287-47 a10.1007/978-3-662-53287-42doi 4aQE1-996.5 7aRBG2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBG2thema04a5512231 aLiu, Dehua.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Control Theory and Application for Well Pattern Optimization of Heterogeneous Sandstone Reservoirsh[electronic resource] /cby Dehua Liu, Jing Sun.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 384 p. 263 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geology,x2197-95450 aGeological foundation of well network optimization -- Reservoir direction characteristics and permeability distribution law -- Theory of Injection and production well network optimization control -- Principles and methods of vector well network -- Well network pattern on different reservoir characteristics -- Analysis of the application of vector well network -- Complex well network optimal design -- Determination of reasonable well network density.  aThe book is focused primarily on characteristics and determinative methods of reservoir orientation, the concept of vector well pattern and corresponding realistic techniques of well pattern deployment, well pattern control principles, Optimum design of well pattern based on the reservoir direction characteristics, and the schemes of well spacing density regulation at different stages of development.

The Geometry of Urban Layouts: A Compendium of The Urban Layout Maps of Downtown Areas In Cities Around The World -- 9. A Compendium of The Urban Layout Maps of Downtown Areas in Cities Around The World.  aThis book presents a compendium of the urban layout maps of 2-mile square downtown areas of more than one hundred cities in developed and developing countries—all drawn at the same scale using high-resolution satellite images of Google Maps. The book also presents analytic studies using metric geometrical, topological (or network), and fractal measures of these maps. These analytic studies identify ordinaries, extremes, similarities, and differences in these maps; investigate the scaling properties of these maps; and develop precise descriptive categories, types and indicators for multidimensional comparative studies of these maps. The findings of these studies indicate that many geometric relations of the urban layouts of downtown areas follow regular patterns; that despite social, economic, and cultural differences among cities, the geometric measures of downtown areas in cities of developed and developing countries do not show significant differences; and that the geometric possibilities of urban layouts are vastly greater than those that have been realized so far in our cities. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aRemote sensing. 0aEconomic geography. 0aArchitecture. 0aCity planning.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aCities, Countries, Regions.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K1400024aUrbanism.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K180062 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331930748008iPrinted edition:z978331930749708iPrinted edition:z978331980881940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30750-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05639nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001500186072002300201072001400224082001400238245014200252250001800394264007500412300006600487336002600553337002600579338003600605347002400641505272700665520095603392650002604348650002004374650001704394650009704411650009104508650008804599700007504687700008104762700007504843710003404918773002004952776003604972776003605008856004605044912001405090950005305104978-3-319-40576-6DE-He21320191220130036.0cr nn 008mamaa161126s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194057669978-3-319-40576-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-40576-62doi 4aQC851-999 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0420002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a551.522310aTropical Cyclone Activity over the North Indian Oceanh[electronic resource] /cedited by M.

There is special emphasis on TC genesis, intensification, movement and associated adverse weather like heavy rainfall and gale winds. It highlights the current state of research on TCs over the NIO and recent improvements in early warning systems due to advances in observational, analytical and numerical weather prediction techniques. The chapters in the book are authored by leading experts from research and operational environments. The chapters presented in the book intend to stimulate thinking and hence further research in the field of TCs, especially over the NIO region. They provide high quality reference material for all experts working in the field of TC related disaster management. This book is relevant to TC forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, graduate and undergraduate students. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aClimate change. 0aMeteorology.14aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3120001 aMohapatra, M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBandyopadhyay, B.K.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRathore, L.S.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940574208iPrinted edition:z978331940575940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40576-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03871nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100008700268245018800355250001800543264007500561300006600636336002600702337002600728338003600754347002400790490008000814505035000894520110001244650001602344650002602360650002502386650002902411650003202440650003002472650009502502650013102597650011902728650011502847710003402962773002002996776003603016776003603052776003603088830008003124856004603204912001403250950005303264978-3-319-40139-3DE-He21320191023132213.0cr nn 008mamaa170808s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194013939978-3-319-40139-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-40139-32doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aNeidhardt, Alexander N.J.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aApplied Computer Science for GGOS Observatoriesh[electronic resource] :bCommunication, Coordination and Automation of Future Geodetic Infrastructures /cby Alexander N.J.

It starts with a step-by-step introduction to developing stable and safe scientific software to run successful software projects. The use of software toolboxes is another essential aspect that leads to the application of generative programming. An example is a generative network middleware that simplifies communication. One of the book’s main focuses is on explaining a potential strategy involving autonomous production cells for space geodetic techniques. The complete software design of a satellite laser ranging system is taken as an example. Such automated systems are then combined for global interaction using secure communication tunnels for remote access. The network of radio telescopes is used as a reference. Combined observatories form coordinated multi-agent systems and offer solutions for operational aspects of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) with regard to “Industry 4.0”. 0aGeophysics. 0aSoftware engineering. 0aApplied mathematics. 0aEngineering mathematics. 0aObservations, Astronomical. 0aAstronomy—Observations.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/I1400224aMathematical and Computational Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T1100624aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P220142 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940137908iPrinted edition:z978331940138608iPrinted edition:z9783319820392 0aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,x2510-130740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40139-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04487nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001500187072001700202072002300219072001600242082001400258245018300272250001800455264006700473300006700540336002600607337002600633338003600659347002400695490004600719505159900765520045102364650002102815650001602836650001402852650001002866650001602876650002602892650001502918650010502933650011303038650008703151650010503238700007703343700008003420700007603500710003403576773002003610776003603630776003603666776003603702830004603738856004603784912001403830950005303844978-94-017-7499-4DE-He21320191026012027.0cr nn 008mamaa160812s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894017749949978-94-017-7499-47 a10.1007/978-94-017-7499-42doi 4aQH541.5.S3 4aQH541.5.F7 7aRBKF2bicssc 7aSCI0390002bisacsh 7aRBKF2thema04a551.422310aCoral Reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacifich[electronic resource] :bPersistence and Loss in a Dynamic Environment /cedited by Peter W.

As urban populations grow, how do we create efficient transportation systems, access to healthy green space, and lower-carbon buildings for all citizens?  The authors respond to these questions in this revised and updated edition. Since the first edition was published in 2009, interest in resilience has surged, in part due to increasingly frequent and deadly natural disasters, and in part due to the contribution of our cities to climate change. The number of new initiatives and approaches from citizens and all levels of government show the promise as well as the challenges of creating cities that are truly resilient.  The authors’ hopeful approach to creating cities that are not only resilient, but striving to become regenerative, is now organized around their characteristics of a resilient city. A resilient city is one that uses renewable and distributed energy; has an efficient and regenerative metabolism; offers inclusive and healthy places; fosters biophilic and naturally adaptive systems; is invested in disaster preparedness; and is designed around efficient urban fabrics that allow for sustainable mobility.   This second edition reveals how the resilient city characteristics have been achieved in communities around the globe. The authors offer stories, insights, and inspiration for urban planners, policymakers, and professionals interested in creating more sustainable, equitable, and, eventually, regenerative cities. Most importantly, the book is about overcoming fear and generating hope in our cities. Cities will need to claim a different future that helps us regenerate the whole planet–this is the challenge of resilient cities. 0aEnvironment. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aTransportation.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1190001 aBeatley, Timothy.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aBoyer, Heather.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091871840uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-686-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03944nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100006800250245007000318250001800388264009800406300003700504336002600541337002600567338003600593347002400629520208900653650001702742650002002759650003002779650002302809650002002832650009702852650009102949650011703040650011403157710003403271773002003305776003603325856004603361912001403407950005303421978-1-61091-814-5DE-He21320191024161949.0cr nn 008mamaa171031s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109181459978-1-61091-814-57 a10.5822/978-1-61091-814-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aNACTO.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUrban Street Stormwater Guideh[electronic resource] /cby NACTO.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aApprox. 170 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aStreets make up more than 80 percent of all public space in cities, yet street space is often underutilized or disproportionately allocated to the movement of private motor vehicles. Excess impervious surface contributes to stormwater runoff, posing a threat to the environment and human health, and often overwhelming sewer systems. This excess asphalt also poses a threat to public safety, encouraging faster speeds and dangerous conditions for people walking and biking.  This volume begins from the principle that street design can support—or degrade—the urban area’s overall environmental health. By incorporating Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) into the right-of-way, cities can manage stormwater and reap the public health, environmental, and aesthetic benefits of street trees, planters, and greenery in the public realm. With thoughtful design, GSI can bolster strategies to provide a safe and pleasant walking and biking experience, efficient and reliable transit service, and safer streets for all users. Building on the successful NACTO urban street guides, this book provides the best practices for the design of GSI along transportation corridors. The authors consider context-sensitive design elements related to street design, character and use, zoning, posted speed, traffic volumes, and impacts to non-motorized and vehicular access. The Guide documents and synthesizes current practices being developed by individual agencies and recommends design guidance for implementation, as well as explores innovative new strategies being tested in cities nationwide. The guidance will focus on providing safe, functioning and maintainable infrastructure that meets the unique needs and requirements of the transportation corridors and its various uses and users. The state-of-the-art solutions in this guide will assist urban planners and designers, transportation engineers, city officials, ecologists, public works officials, and others interested in the role of the built urban landscape in protecting the climate, water quality, and natural environment. 0aEnvironment. 0aTransportation. 0aSustainable architecture. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11900024aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/12200024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J150002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091870140uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-814-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03897nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245020900266250001800475264007500493300004300568336002600611337002600637338003600663347002400699490010000723505057200823520102501395650002902420650001202449650002102461650010002482650008302582650009202665700007902757700007702836700007902913710003402992773002003026776003603046776003603082776003603118830010003154856004603254912001403300950005303314978-3-319-45160-2DE-He21320190628031256.0cr nn 008mamaa170511s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194516029978-3-319-45160-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-45160-22doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722314aThe Role of Corporate Sustainability in Asian Developmenth[electronic resource] :bA Case Study Handbook in the Automotive and ICT Industries /cedited by Gilbert Lenssen, Jay Hyuk Rhee, Fabien Martinez.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 165 p. 30 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in Business Ethics Research, A Journal of Business Ethics Book Series,x2520-1654 ;v70 aSection 1: Intel (US) case – CSR 3.0: how to leverage social innovation to create business and social value -- Section 2: Lenovo (CN) case – Venture Philanthropy; supporting NGOs -- Section 3: Samsung Electronics (KR) case: Green Memory Chips -- Section 4: ZTE (CN) case – Eliminating Digital Chasm -- Section 5: BMW case – BMW I Story: revolutionizing sustainable mobility -- Section 6: Hyundai Motor Company case – Fostering social enterprises -- Section 7: Mahindra & Mahindra case – Mainstreaming sustainability in business through knowledge building.  aThis book examines the challenges faced by seven multinational companies - Intel, Lenovo, Samsung Electronics, ZTE, BMW Hyundai Motor Company, Mahindra and Mahindra - in their endeavour to contribute to the economic, environmental and social development of Asia. The lessons learned from the examination of these business practices may directly contribute to an increase in the practice of sustainable management and may as such contribute to positive economic, environmental and social impact of companies in this region. The cases are highly relevant for management theoreticians seeking to deepen our understanding of corporate sustainability in an area where scholars, practitioners and policy-makers can expect new questions, problems and challenges in the years ahead. The book is also of high interest to policy review agencies, policy makers and welfare economists seeking to support the development of a comprehensive sustainability framework for managing social and environmental issues in the context of Asia. 0aSustainable development. 0aEthics. 0aBusiness ethics.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEthics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/E1400024aBusiness Ethics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/5260001 aLenssen, Gilbert.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRhee, Jay Hyuk.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMartinez, Fabien.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945158908iPrinted edition:z978331945159608iPrinted edition:z9783319832265 0aAdvances in Business Ethics Research, A Journal of Business Ethics Book Series,x2520-1654 ;v740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45160-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05091nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172050001300185072001500198072002300213072001400236072001500250082001400265245014800279250001800427264007500445300006300520336002600583337002600609338003600635347002400671490007900695505143300774520131702207650002803524650001303552650002803565650001703593650011303610650009503723650009803818650010903916700008004025700007804105710003404183773002004217776003604237776003604273776003604309830007904345856004604424912001404470950005304484978-3-319-54469-4DE-He21320191021232424.0cr nn 008mamaa170404s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195446949978-3-319-54469-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-54469-42doi 4aGE45.M38 4aGE45.M37 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema 7aPBW2thema04a333.722310aMathematics as a Toolh[electronic resource] :bTracing New Roles of Mathematics in the Sciences /cedited by Johannes Lenhard, Martin Carrier.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 286 p. 28 illus., 10 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aBoston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science,x0068-0346 ;v3270 aChapter 1.

(Jürgen Jost).  aThis book puts forward a new role for mathematics in the natural sciences. In the traditional understanding, a strong viewpoint is advocated, on the one hand, according to which mathematics is used for truthfully expressing laws of nature and thus for rendering the rational structure of the world. In a weaker understanding, many deny that these fundamental laws are of an essentially mathematical character, and suggest that mathematics is merely a convenient tool for systematizing observational knowledge. The position developed in this volume combines features of both the strong and the weak viewpoint. In accordance with the former, mathematics is assigned an active and even shaping role in the sciences, but at the same time, employing mathematics as a tool is taken to be independent from the possible mathematical structure of the objects under consideration. Hence the tool perspective is contextual rather than ontological. Furthermore, tool-use has to respect conditions like suitability, efficacy, optimality, and others. There is a spectrum of means that will normally differ in how well they serve particular purposes. The tool perspective underlines the inevitably provisional validity of mathematics: any tool can be adjusted, improved, or lose its adequacy upon changing practical conditions. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aHistory. 0aPhilosophy and science. 0aMathematics.14aMath.

It argues that urban heritage has a value that transcends the mere object’s value, constituting a crucial source of identity for urban inhabitants. The same is true for the urban intangible values and practices that are often associated with places or buildings. The empirical research is based on case studies of Kathmandu in Nepal, Yogyakarta in Indonesia and Recife in Brazil; three cities that still comprise core areas with a high percentage of historic fabric and distinctive cultural expressions. The comparative study of the three areas reveals the similarities and differences of urban conservation policies, past and present upgrading strategies in the core areas, and the importance of tangible and intangible heritage. All three cities demonstrate that urban heritage, habits and beliefs are still of importance to the population. While there are significant differences in the kind and level of protection the respective legal system provides, partly uncontrolled urban dynamics pose a threat to all of them. The text is based on a PhD thesis submitted to the Institute of Geography, University of Innsbruck, Austria. . 0aUrban geography. 0aCultural heritage. 0aHuman geography. 0aCities and towns—History. 0aSustainable development.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/41900024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aUrban History.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/72700024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943734708iPrinted edition:z978331943736108iPrinted edition:z9783319828978 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43735-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05416nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246245014600261250001800407264007500425300006700500336002600567337002600593338003600619347002400655505232600679520112803005650002004133650003004153650009104183650011404274650012304388700008004511700008004591710003404671773002004705776003604725776003604761776003604797856004604833912001404879950005304893978-3-319-45648-5DE-He21320191029002128.0cr nn 008mamaa170118s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194564859978-3-319-45648-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-45648-52doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.2722310aEnvironmental Change and Human Security in Africa and the Middle Easth[electronic resource] /cedited by Mohamed Behnassi, Katriona McGlade.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXII, 340 p. 51 illus., 44 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart I.

Human Relationship to the Land from a Legal Perspective as a Human and Environmental Security Challenge (Olivier Barriere) -- Chapter 15. Environmental Change and Gender: Rethinking Traditional Approaches to Food Security in Rural Beitbridge, Zimbabwe (Mark Matsa).  aThis volume brings together insights on the interactions between environmental change and human security in the Middle East and Africa. These regions face particular challenges in relation to environmental degradation, the decline of natural resources and consequent risks to current and future human security. The chapters provide topical analysis from a range of disciplines on the theory, discourse, policy and practice of responding to global environmental change and threats to human security. Case studies from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq and Syria provide empirical evidence, with a focus section dedicated to the critical issue of water resources and water security in the region. The contributions demonstrate above all that the risks posed to human security arise through multiple and interconnected processes operating across diverse spatial and temporal scales. The complexity of these processes requires new ways of thinking and intervening. As a contribution, the current volume provides engaging insights from theory and practice for those seeking to address the challenges of environmental change. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental management.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2150001 aBehnassi, Mohamed.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMcGlade, Katriona.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945646108iPrinted edition:z978331945647808iPrinted edition:z978331983337840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45648-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04553nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001500239100007500254245015000329250001800479264007500497300006300572336002600635337002600661338003600687347002400723490005600747505124700803520082202050650002402872650002002896650001502916650001802931650002302949650001902972650001702991650009503008650011303103650010203216650010403318650009003422650008803512700008003600710003403680773002003714776003603734776003603770830005603806856004603862912001403908950005303922978-3-319-44451-2DE-He21320191022022742.0cr nn 008mamaa170309s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194445129978-3-319-44451-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-44451-22doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a910.022231 aHooke, Janet.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aCombating Desertification and Land Degradationh[electronic resource] :bSpatial Strategies Using Vegetation /cby Janet Hooke, Peter Sandercock.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 135 p. 42 illus., 34 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-55470 aChapter 1 INTRODUCTION -- 1.1 Context and problem.-1.2 Processes and connectivity concept.-1.3 Benefits of use of vegetation -- 1.4 Approach -- 1.5 Research design and study area -- 1.6 Conclusion.-Chapter 2 MECHANISMS OF DEGRADATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF CONNECTIVITY AND EROSION HOTSPOTS -- 2.1 Soil erosion and degradation in desertified Mediterranean lands -- 2.2 Processes -- 2.3 Connectivity concept and methods -- 2.4 Methods and results at various scales -- 2.5 Conclusions.-Chapter 3 CONDITIONS FOR GROWTH OF PLANTS -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Types of plants in Mediterranean environment and land units.-3.3 Assessment of conditions for plants.-3.4 Summary of results on required conditions and implications for restoration.-Chapter 4 EFFECTIVENESS OF PLANTS AND VEGETATION IN EROSION CONTROL AND RESTORATION -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 Land units -- 4.3 Role of plants in reducing concentrated flow erosion rates -- 4.4 Effects of vegetation in channels -- 4.5 Summary -- Chapter 5 SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF SPATIAL STRATEGIES FOR USE OF VEGETATION TO MINIMISE CONNECTIVITY.-5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 Application at hierarchical scales -- 5.3 Guidelines -- 5.4 Summary -- 5.5 Wider application and global implications -- REFERENCES.  aThis book reports an approach developed to research and apply methods of assessing patterns of processes in the landscape, and suitability of different types of vegetation to mitigate soil erosion and sediment flux. Practical guidelines on a spatially strategic approach to management of land degradation at a range of spatial scales were produced. Originally developed for the Mediterranean environment, it has much wider potential global application. It provides researchers with methods to acquire the knowledge necessary for such an approach and provides practitioners with guidance on implementation and benefits of targeted methods of soil erosion control. It includes substantial information about processes and vegetation in the Mediterranean environment and the species effectiveness in soil erosion control. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change. 0aHydrology. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aPlant ecology. 0aAgriculture.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aPlant Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1911224aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L110061 aSandercock, Peter.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331944449908iPrinted edition:z9783319444505 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-44451-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04584nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245018100266250001800447264007500465300006600540336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694490008900718505081400807520125601621650002902877650001302906650001602919650002502935650002302960650002102983650010003004650009503104650009603199650009403295650009203389700008403481700007703565710003403642773002003676776003603696776003603732776003603768830008903804856004603893912001403939950005303953978-3-319-55574-4DE-He21320191027162051.0cr nn 008mamaa170615s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195557449978-3-319-55574-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-55574-42doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aWildlife Tourism, Environmental Learning and Ethical Encountersh[electronic resource] :bEcological and Conservation Aspects /cedited by Ismar Borges de Lima, Ronda J.

Captive Wildlife, Tourism and the Human Relationship to Nature: Demystifying Zoos -- Wildlife tourism, a multidisciplinary field of inquiries and insights: final considerations.  aThis book outlines the status quo of worldwide wildlife tourism and its impacts on planning, management, knowledge, awareness, behaviour and attitudes related to wildlife encounters. It sets out to fill the considerable gaps in our knowledge on wildlife tourism, applied ecology, and environmental education, providing comprehensive information on and an interdisciplinary approach to effective management in wildlife tourism.  Examining the intricacies, challenges, and lessons learned in a meaningful and rewarding tourism niche, this interdisciplinary book comprehensively examines the major potentials and controversies in the wildlife tourism industry. Pursuing an insightful, provocative and hands-on approach, it primarily addresses two questions: ‘Can we reconcile the needs of the wildlife tourism industry, biodiversity conservation, ecological learning and animal ethics issues?’ and ‘What is the Future of the Wildlife Tourism Industry?’.  Though primarily in tended as a research text, it also offers a valuable resource for a broad readership, which includes university and training students, researchers, scholars, tourism practitioners and professionals, planners and managers, as well as the staff of government agencies. . 0aSustainable development. 0aTourism. 0aManagement. 0aNature conservation. 0aScience education. 0aApplied ecology.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aTourism Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/52705024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aScience Education.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O2700024aApplied Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190231 aBorges de Lima, Ismar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGreen, Ronda J.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955573708iPrinted edition:z978331955575108iPrinted edition:z9783319856988 0aGeoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism, Conservation and Management Series,x2363-765X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55574-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04525nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172050001600188072001700204072002300221072001600244082001400260100009200274245021700366250001800583264007500601300006400676336002600740337002600766338003600792347002400828490005600852505032900908520189001237650002403127650002303151650002003174650001803194650009503212650009403307650010603401650010203507700009103609710003403700773002003734776003603754776003603790830005603826856004603882912001403928950005303942978-3-319-56744-0DE-He21320191022101625.0cr nn 008mamaa170424s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195674409978-3-319-56744-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-56744-02doi 4aQE601-613.5 4aQE500-639.5 7aRBGD2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRBGD2thema04a551.82231 aPardo Echarte, Manuel Enrique.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aOil and Gas Exploration in Cuba h[electronic resource] :bGeological-Structural Cartography using Potential Fields and Airborne Gamma Spectrometry /cby Manuel Enrique Pardo Echarte, Jorge Luis Cobiella Reguera.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 76 p. 48 illus., 45 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,x2191-589X0 aForeword -- Abstract -- Chapter 1.

Geological-structural mapping of weathered igneous and metamorphic rock units.  aA summary of the results achieved in the geological-structural mapping, by potential fields and airborne gamma spectrometry data, of the units of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the western regions (Havana-Matanzas), central (Cienfuegos, Villa Clara-Sancti Spiritus) and central-eastern (Camagüey-Las Tunas-Holguín) of Cuba is presented. In addition, the structural- tectonic regionalization with hydrocarbon exploration purposes, focusing mapping of possible new oil-gas targets in the regions of Land Blocks 9, 23 and 17-18 are detailed in this volume. In certain case study locations (Majaguillar, North Motembo, Guamutas and Maniabón) reconnaissance work by a profile of Redox Complex (complex of unconventional geophysical-geochemical exploration techniques) was performed with positive results. In an attempt to contribute to the geological-structural mapping of the metamorphic massif Isla de la Juventud, with emphasis on acid magmatism, the gravi-magnetometric data is used. According to the results, the presumed post metamorphic granitic bodies of low density are located, mainly, in the central and southwestern part of the massif. The granitic bodies apparently were introduced through the system of longitudinal faults (syn metamorphic) and transverse (post metamorphic) at the end of the process multyfolding and metamorphism of the massif sequences, taking a leading role the deep longitudinal fracture zones of sublatitudinal direction in the central and southern part of the massif. On the map of the magnetic field vertical derivative  the anomalies, basically, reflected the direction and limits of the folded tectonic structure, the development area of volcanogenic rocks, the presumed development zones of migmatitic rocks and tectonised rocks in North and center of the massif, respectively, and the prevailing direction of the main tectonic dislocations. 0aStructural geology. 0aEnergy harvesting. 0aRemote sensing. 0aSpectroscopy.14aStructural Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1704024aEnergy Harvesting.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11700024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aSpectroscopy/Spectrometry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C110201 aCobiella Reguera, Jorge Luis.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956743308iPrinted edition:z9783319567457 0aSpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,x2191-589X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56744-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03850nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245015100254250001800405264007500423300006500498336002600563337002600589338003600615347002400651505046100675520098701136650003002123650002902153650001602182650001802198650002302216650002502239650001702264650010102281650010002382650008702482650010402569650009602673650008802769700007402857700007802931710003403009773002003043776003603063776003603099776003603135856004603171912001403217950005303231978-3-319-54957-6DE-He21320191029032908.0cr nn 008mamaa170409s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195495769978-3-319-54957-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-54957-62doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aMultifunctional Land-Use Systems for Managing the Nexus of Environmental Resourcesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Lulu Zhang, Kai Schwärzel.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVII, 148 p. 34 illus., 31 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1 The Loess Plateau of China -- Chapter 2 The land-use policy in China -- Chapter 3 Multifunctional agriculture on the Loess Plateau -- Chapter 4 Multifunctional grassland development on the Loess Plateau -- Chapter 5 Multifunctional forestry development on the Loess Plateau -- Chapter 6 Multifunctional forest management in consideration of forest-water relationship -- Chapter 7 Implementation of multifunctional land management: Research needs.  aThis book comprehensively describes the major ecosystem services in dryland environments that are provided by typical land use, including forestland, grassland and farmland, using the Loess Plateau, Northwest China as an example. It offers extensive information on land policy, implementation and scientific evidence, and discusses the restoration of the degraded Loess Plateau environment, which that brings new challenges in the sustainable use of natural resources, in particular soil and water. It presents a transdisciplinary and up-to-date understanding of interlinkages and competition between different ecosystem services and illustrates benefit sharing among different users and stakeholders, land- management practitioners and local governments. It is a major contribution to the on-going debate on future land-development strategies and identifies areas where there is a need for more research. This book is a valuable resource for students, scientists and policy makers. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aSustainable development. 0aEcosystems. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aForestry management. 0aAgriculture.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aForestry Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2201624aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L110061 aZhang, Lulu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSchwärzel, Kai.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954956908iPrinted edition:z978331954958308iPrinted edition:z978331985531840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54957-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03817nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245011900251250001800370264007500388300006600463336002600529337002600555338003600581347002400617490003800641505020500679520106800884650002101952650002001973650003001993650002402023650002302047650002602070650002902096650013602125650009102261650010102352650009502453650011202548650010002660700007702760700007702837710003402914773002002948776003602968776003603004776003603040830003803076856004603114912001403160950005303174978-3-319-43851-1DE-He21320191220130813.0cr nn 008mamaa161118s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194385119978-3-319-43851-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-43851-12doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622314aThe Urban Transport Crisis in Emerging Economiesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Dorina Pojani, Dominic Stead.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 301 p. 117 illus., 107 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X0 a1.

Vietnam -- Conclusion.  aThis edited volume discuses urban transport issues, policies, and initiatives in twelve of the world’s major emerging economies – Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and Vietnam - countries with large populations that have recently experienced large changes in urban structure, motorization and all the associated social, economic, and environmental impacts in positive and negative senses. Contributions on each of these twelve countries focus on one or more major cities per country. This book aims to fill a gap in the transport literature that is crucial to understanding the needs of a large portion of the world’s urban population, especially in view of the southward shift in economic power. Readers will develop a better understanding of urban transport problems and policies in nations where development levels are below those of richer countries (mainly in the northern hemisphere) but where the rate of economic growth is often increasing at a faster rate than the wealthiest nations. . 0aUrban geography. 0aTransportation. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEconomic geography. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aSustainable development.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11900024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aPojani, Dorina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aStead, Dominic.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943849808iPrinted edition:z978331943850408iPrinted edition:z9783319829241 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43851-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03372nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001500239100007800254245008300332250001800415264007500433300006700508336002600575337002600601338003600627347002400663490005400687505076600741520082501507650002402332650009502356650013402451710003402585773002002619776003602639776003602675776003602711830005402747856004602801912001402847950005302861978-3-319-45183-1DE-He21320190704071451.0cr nn 008mamaa161005s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194518319978-3-319-45183-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-45183-12doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a910.022231 aMezősi, Gábor.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Physical Geography of Hungaryh[electronic resource] /cby Gábor Mezősi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 334 p. 209 illus., 22 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aGeography of the Physical Environment,x2366-88650 aPart I.

The Origin of intelligence -- Epilogue.  aThis book presents projections and blueprints of the future geologic period, climate and biosphere, based on our current understanding of the Earth’s history and recent developments in the atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere system. By the second decade of the 21st century it has become clear that, rather than channel its efforts into protecting its planetary biosphere and living species, Homo sapiens continues to sink its remaining resources into weapons, including nuclear missiles – thus increasing the risk of intentional or accidental spread of radioactive nuclides on land, oceans and atmosphere. With time, possibility becomes probability, and probability becomes certainty ‒ heralding a transition from the Anthropocene to a new geological period, named here as Plutocene after the element Plutonium. During the Plutocene the biosphere is dominated by elevated temperatures, analogous to the Pliocene (2.6 – 5.3 Ma ago) or the Miocene (5.3 - 23 Ma ago) when mean global temperatures were 2 to 4 degrees Celsius warmer and sea levels 20 to 40 meters higher than pre-industrial levels. High levels of radioactivity will persist for at least 20,000 years and acid oceans will severely limit biological activity to the hardiest species. Atmospheric CO2 higher than 500 ppm with residence time on the order of thousands of years will delay the subsequent glacial cycle. These factors restrict comparisons of the Plutocene with biosphere conditions during the Miocene and Pliocene periods, partly because the flora and fauna evolved more gradually during these periods, unlike the abrupt climate shift of state during the second half of the 20th century and first part of the 21st century. Following a long lull in biological activity dominated by radiation-resistant organisms, especially Arthropods, a resumption of glacial cycles and decline in radioactivity will lead to the re-emergence of descendants of burrowing mammals and other genera. Depending on the intensity of radioactive pollution, hunter-gatherer humans may survive in northern latitudes, relatively cold high-altitude mountain valleys and elevated volcanic islands. In some areas subsistence farming may be possible. A new cycle will commence. 0aPhysical geography. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aGeology. 0aEcology .14aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3500024aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190072 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331957236908iPrinted edition:z978331957238308iPrinted edition:z9783319861104 0aModern Approaches in Solid Earth Sciences,x1876-1682 ;v1340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57237-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04755nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001500242245018000257250001800437264007500455300006600530336002600596337002600622338003600648347002400684505115500708520111401863650002902977650001803006650002303024650002403047650003003071650003103101650001903132650009803151650010403249650009503353650011003448650011603558700007703674700008403751700007903835710003403914773002003948776003603968776003604004776003604040856004604076912001404122950005304136978-3-319-55423-5DE-He21320191220130307.0cr nn 008mamaa170509s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195542359978-3-319-55423-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-55423-52doi 4aTD172-193.5 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a363.7322310aEnhancing Cleanup of Environmental Pollutantsh[electronic resource] :bVolume 2: Non-Biological Approaches /cedited by Naser A.

Important concepts such as the role of metallic iron in the decontamination of hexavalent chromium polluted waters are highlighted; in addition, nanoscale materials and electrochemical approaches used in water and soil remediation are discussed; and the synthesis and characterization of cation composite exchange material and its application in removing toxic metals are elaborated in detail. Readers will also discover the major advances in the remediation of environmental pollutants by adsorption technologies. . 0aEnvironmental pollution. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aPlant biochemistry. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aEnvironmental engineering. 0aBiotechnology.14aTerrestrial Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3503024aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aPlant Biochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1402124aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U330001 aAnjum, Naser A.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGill, Sarvajeet Singh.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTuteja, Narendra.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955422808iPrinted edition:z978331955424208iPrinted edition:z978331985656840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55423-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03508nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000700172072001600179072002300195072001500218082001400233100008200247245014500329250001800474264007500492300005100567336002600618337002600644338003600670347002400706490005700730505026300787520085601050650002401906650002901930650002301959650002101982650002902003650004502032650009502077650010002172650009402272650009202366650010002458650010002558710003402658773002002692776003602712776003602748830005702784856004602841912001402887950005302901978-3-319-58030-2DE-He21320191022112218.0cr nn 008mamaa170510s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195803029978-3-319-58030-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-58030-22doi 4aGF 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.22231 aNahum, João Santos.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aModernization and Political Actions in the Brazilian Amazonh[electronic resource] :bThe City of Barcarena, Pará /cby João Santos Nahum.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aIX, 78 p. 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X0 aChapter 1: The Modern Territorial Restructuring -- Chapter 2: The Use of the Territory as a Resource to the Barcarena Elite -- Chapter 3: The Government of Laurival Magno Cunha and the Implementation of the Fiscal Responsibility Law -- Chapter 4: Conclusion.  aThis book offers an analysis of the territory of Barcarena, in the Brazilian Amazon. The author studies the land use and the implemented modernization policies that made it one of the richest cities of the state. The political system uses this territory as a resource to provide for the needs of a small circle of social agents. A system of conservative political actions enforces the process of modernization of the Baracena territory. Innovations in the Barcarena territory, such as the implementation of the aluminium factory Albras/Alunorte and the territorial configuration or public administration, lead to modernization simulations and artificial devices. The intended effect however is more about appearing to be modern, than actual modernization. The territorial use of Barcarena is aimed to protect the interests and privileges of the elite. 0aCultural geography. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aNatural resources. 0aHuman geography. 0aSustainable development. 0aLatin America—Politics and government.14aCultural Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J2200024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3900024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aLatin American Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/9111502 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331958029608iPrinted edition:z9783319580319 0aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-58030-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05177nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001600188072002300204072001500227082001200242245014700254250001800401264007500419300006400494336002600558337002600584338003600610347002400646505188000670520118502550650002303735650002003758650001603778650003003794650009203824650010603916650009504022650012604117700007804243700007504321710003404396773002004430776003604450776003604486776003604522856004604558912001404604950005304618978-3-319-51844-2DE-He21320191022162251.0cr nn 008mamaa170316s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195184429978-3-319-51844-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-51844-22doi 4aGB5000-5030 7aRNR2bicssc 7aNAT0230002bisacsh 7aRNR2thema04a55122310aGlobal Changes and Natural Disaster Management: Geo-information Technologies h[electronic resource] /cedited by Saied Pirasteh, Jonathan Li.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 228 p. 94 illus., 79 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart I.

The book's primary goals are to document the wealth of experiences in the region available today, to encourage cross-sector interactions among the various stakeholders in the region, and to help transfer results to other countries and regions. Accordingly, it gathers a set of papers presented at a symposium on climate change adaptation held in Fiji in July 2016, focusing on "Fostering Resilience and Improving the Quality of Life". In these contributions, local and international experts present a variety of initiatives showing how Pacific countries are coping with the many problems associated with climate change, including initiatives in education and awareness work taking place across the region, operational aspects and their implications for policy-making, and challenges in urban and rural areas. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aEnvironmental Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U380001 aLeal Filho, Walter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950093508iPrinted edition:z978331950095908iPrinted edition:z9783319843162 0aClimate Change Management,x1610-200240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50094-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04449nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245017800266250001800444264007500462300006500537336002600602337002600628338003600654347002400690490004300714505075000757520135001507650002902857650002902886650002302915650003202938650002302970650010002993650010003093650009703193650010303290650010403393700008003497710003403577773002003611776003603631776003603667776003603703830004303739856004603782912001403828950005303842978-3-319-55772-4DE-He21320191027121205.0cr nn 008mamaa170518s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195577249978-3-319-55772-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-55772-42doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722314aThe Ocean of Tomorrowh[electronic resource] :bInvestment Assessment of Multi-Use Offshore Platforms: Methodology and Applications - Volume 1 /cedited by Phoebe Koundouri.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXX, 143 p. 36 illus., 23 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEnvironment & Policy,x1383-5130 ;v560 aChapter1: Introduction to the MERMAID Project -- Part I: Socio-economic Assessment of Multi-use Offshore Platforms -- Chapter 2: Methodology for Integrated Socio-economic Assessment of Multi-use Offshore Platforms -- Chapter 3: Socio-economic Assessment of a Selected Multi-use Offshore Site in the Baltic Sea -- Chapter 4: Socio-economic Assessment of a Selected Multi-use Offshore Site in the North Sea -- Chapter 5: Socio-economic Assessment of a Selected Multi-use Offshore Site in the Atlantic Sea -- Chapter 6: Socio-economic Assessment of a Selected Multi-use Offshore Site in the Mediterranean Sea -- Part II: Risk Analysis -- Chapter 7: Risk Analysis for the selected MERMAID final designs -- Chapter 8: Conclusions and Recommendations.  aThis book develops and applies an integrated socio-economic assessment of multi-use offshore platforms in European marine locations.

In recent years, attempts to site alternative energy technologies (e.g., wind, solar, wave) have been met by intense opposition from a variety of sources, including many environmentalists from whom one might expect support for non-carbon based renewable energy initiatives. This volume argues that there are indeed such discernible attributes, and moreover that the identification and exploration are important for the development of support strategies for the well-informed and achievable siting of such technologies. . 0aNatural resources. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management.14aNatural Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3900024aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aSteel, Brent S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953413808iPrinted edition:z978331953415208iPrinted edition:z9783319851471 0aEnvironmental Challenges and Solutions,x2214-2827 ;v840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53414-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04806nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245013900254250001800393264006500411300006300476336002600539337002600565338003600591347002400627505113200651520128501783650002603068650003103094650001903125650003003144650002403174650002003198650009703218650011603315650010103431650009503532650010503627700007503732700008103807700008903888710003403977773002004011776003604031776003604067776003604103856004604139912001404185950005304199978-981-10-4041-2DE-He21320191025201230.0cr nn 008mamaa170419s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110404129978-981-10-4041-27 a10.1007/978-981-10-4041-22doi 4aRA565-600 7aMMR2bicssc 7aMED0780002bisacsh 7aMKV2thema04a613.122310aAdvances in Environmental Biotechnologyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Raman Kumar, Anil Kumar Sharma, Sarabjeet Singh Ahluwalia.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 288 p. 33 illus., 18 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aChapter 1.

Recent technologies have given impetus to the possibility of using renewable raw materials as a potential source of energy. Cost intensive and eco-friendly technology for producing high quality products and efficient ways to recycle waste to minimize environmental pollution is the need of hour. The use of bioremediation technologies through microbial communities is another viable option to remediate environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals, pesticides and dyes etc. Since physico-chemical technologies employed in the past have many potential drawbacks including higher cost, and lower sustainability. So there is need of efficient biotechnological alternatives to overcome increasing environmental pollution. Hence, there is a need for environmental friendly technologies that can reduce the pollutants causing adverse hazards on humans and surrounding environment. . 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnvironmental

Gathering contributions by international experts, it focuses on understanding the complete and practical spectrum of challenges presented by landslides in such complex materials. Based on sound and validated research results, the book also presents several recommendations that could be implemented in the guidelines or code-of-practice. These recommendations cover topics including the characterization and behavior of sensitive clays; the pre-failure, failure and post-failure stages of sensitive clays; mapping and identification methods; climate change; hazard assessment; and risk management. Sensitive clays are known for their potential for causing large landslides, which pose a serious risk to human lives, infrastructure, and surrounding ecosystems within their reach. This has been demonstrated by the recent catastrophic landslides in e.g. Sørum (2016), Skjeggestad (2015), Statland (2014), Byneset (2012), St-Jude (2010), Lyngen (2010) and Kattmarka (2009). The 2015 collapse of the Skjeggestad Bridge in Norway – which was due to a landslide in sensitive clay – alone costs millions of dollars in repairs. Recently, efforts are being made to increase society’s ability to cope with such landslide hazards. Geoscientists are now expected to provide input to the agencies responsible for landslide-risk preparedness. In other words, geoscientists’ role is not only to act as technologists to establish new theories, but also to go the extra mile to implement them in practice, so as to find meaningful solutions to geotechnical problems. 0aNatural disasters. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aGeology.14aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170021 aThakur, Vikas.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aL'Heureux, Jean-Sébastien.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLocat, Ariane.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331956486908iPrinted edition:z978331956488308iPrinted edition:z9783319859248 0aAdvances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research,x1878-9897 ;v4640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56487-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04071nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245017700253250001800430264007500448300005200523336002600575337002600601338003600627347002400663490007600687505063000763520127101393650002502664650002602689650002102715650001602736650009602752650009702848650010502945700007703050700007503127710003403202773002003236776003603256776003603292776003603328830007603364856004603440912001403486950005303500978-3-319-34052-4DE-He21320191025151116.0cr nn 008mamaa161003s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193405249978-3-319-34052-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-34052-42doi 4aQH75-77 7aRNK2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRNK2thema04a333.7222310aDarwin, Darwinism and Conservation in the Galapagos Islandsh[electronic resource] :bThe Legacy of Darwin and its New Applications /cedited by Diego Quiroga, Ana Sevilla.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 164 p. 6 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSocial and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands,x2195-10550 aForeword -- 1.Darwin’s Galapagos Myth -- 2.On the Origin of Species and the Galapagos Islands -- 3.The Galapagos Islands and the Ecuadorean State: Early Encounters -- 4.Darwinians, Anti-Darwinians and the Galapagos (1835-1935) -- 5.Mythologizing Darwin’s Islands -- 6.Mythologizing Darwin’s Islands -- 7.Darwinism in Latin America: Reception and Introduction -- 8.The Charles Darwin Foundation: some critical remarks about its history and trends -- 9.Darwin, Emergent Process and the Conservation of Galapagos Ecosystems -- 10.Darwinian Emergence, Conservation and Restoration: Novel Ecosystems and Hybrid Environments.  aThe book explores how Darwin´s legendary and mythologized visit to the Galapagos affected the socioecosystems of the Islands, as well as the cultural and intellectual traditions of Ecuador and Latin America. It highlights in what way the connection between Darwin and the Galapagos has had real, enduring and paradoxical effects in the Archipelago. This Twenty Century construct of the Galapagos as the cradle of Darwin’s theory and insights triggered not only the definition of the Galapagos as a living natural laboratory but also the production of a series of conservation practices and the reshaping of the Galapagos as a tourism destination with an increasingly important flow of tourists that potentially threaten its fragile ecosystems. The book argues that the idea of a Darwinian living laboratory has been limited by the success of the very same constructs that promote its conservation. It suggests critical interpretations of this paradox by questioning many of the dichotomies that have been created to understand nature and its conservation. We also explore some possible ways in which Darwin's ideas can be used to better understand the social and natural threats facing the Islands and to develop sustainable and successful management practices. . 0aNature conservation. 0aEvolutionary biology. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aEvolutionary

societies by challenging the traditional concept of rural-urban dichotomy. It combines environmental engineering and landscape sciences perspectives on urban region issues, making the book a unique work in urban study literatures. Today’s extended urban regions often maintain rural features within their boundaries and also have strong social, economic, and environmental linkages with the surrounding rural areas. These intra- and inter- linkages between urban and rural systems produce complex interdependences with global and local sustainability issues, including those of climate change, resource exploitation, ecosystem degradation and human wellbeing. Planning and other prospective actions for the sustainability of urban regions, therefore, cannot solely depend on “urban” approaches; rather, they need to integrate broader landscape perspectives that take extended social and ecological systems into consideration. This volume shows how to untangle, diagnose, and transform urban regions through distinctive thematic contributions across a variety of academic disciplines ranging from environmental engineering and geography to landscape ecology and urban planning. Case studies, selected from across the world and investigating urban regions in East Asia, Europe, North America and South-East Asia, collectively illustrate shared and differentiated drivers of sustainability challenges and provide informative inputs to global and local sustainability initiatives. 0aSustainable development. 0aUrban ecology (Biology). 0aLandscape ecology.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aUrban Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1916024aLandscape Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190581 aYokohari, Makoto.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMurakami, Akinobu.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHara, Yuji.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTsuchiya, Kazuaki.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156443008iPrinted edition:z978443156444708iPrinted edition:z9784431567875 0aScience for Sustainable Societies,x2197-734840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56445-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05190nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001400186072001500200072002300215072001400238072001500252082001400267082001200281245014300293250001800436264007500454300006500529336002600594337002600620338003600646347002400682490008300706505168000789520105702469650003103526650001903557650002903576650002103605650002203626650011603648650010003764650013603864650010004000700007604100700007804176710003404254773002004288776003604308776003604344776003604380830008304416856004604499912001404545950005304559978-3-319-49899-7DE-He21320191021161707.0cr nn 008mamaa170304s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194989979978-3-319-49899-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-49899-72doi 4aTA170-171 4aTD195.B58 7aTQ2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aTCB2thema04a660.622304a62822310aHappy City - How to Plan and Create the Best Livable Area for the Peopleh[electronic resource] /cedited by Anna Brdulak, Halina Brdulak.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 318 p. 54 illus., 36 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEcoProduction, Environmental Issues in Logistics and Manufacturing,x2193-46140 aPart I Sustainable Urban Mobility:Sustainable Mobility in Smart Metropolis -- Fair access to city space – establishing principle -- Enterprise Architecture-based model of management for smart cities -- The impact of novel, innovative architectural information systems using balloon technology on public understanding of air quality in urban areas, with specific regard to transport-related decisions -- Part II Building social capital – citizen focus: Satisfaction benchmark for smart cities -- Role of public government units within the framework of the smart city concept -- Quality of Life and Gender Equality: some conclusions from a public opinion poll in Poland -- The analysis of quality of life – the case of Warsaw -- Aiming to a Future University – the case of the SGH campus redevelopment -- Part III Integrated Infrastructures and processes across Energy, ICT and Transport -- Integrated Infrastructures and processes across Energy, ICT and Transport -- Lessons from a Large Scale Demonstrator of the Smart and Sustainable City -- Mobility Oriented Development (MOD): Public-Private Partnership in Urban Parking & Traffic Management with the Use of Autonomous Automobiles, Car-sharing, Ridesharing Modes of Transport & Mobility as a Service (MaaS) -- Eco-innovations in sustainable waste management strategies for smart cities -- Part IV Policy and regulations: Smart city landscape protection – EU law perspective -- The legal aspects of intelligent cities -- City debugged.

It also includes the best practice, which could serve as a benchmark for the creation of smart cities. The global urbanisation index, i.e., the ratio of city dwellers to the total population, has been steadily increasing in recent years. It is highest in the Americas, followed by Europe, Asia and Africa. The city of the future will combine the intelligent use of IT systems with the potential of institutions, companies and committed, creative inhabitants. The administrative boundaries of today’s cities put certain constraints on their further growth, but in the future these boundaries will no longer be as relevant. Cities in Europe face the challenge of reconciling sustainable urban development and competitiveness – a challenge that will likely influence issues of urban quality such as the economy, culture, social and environmental conditions, changing a given city’s profile as well as urban quality in terms of its composition and characteristics. 0aEnvironmental engineering. 0aBiotechnology. 0aSustainable development. 0aUrban geography. 0aSociology, Urban.14aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3300024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X222501 aBrdulak, Anna.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBrdulak, Halina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949898008iPrinted edition:z978331949900008iPrinted edition:z9783319842677 0aEcoProduction, Environmental Issues in Logistics and Manufacturing,x2193-461440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49899-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02734nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222072001500236082001500251245011900266250001800385264007500403300006500478336002600543337002600569338003600595347002400631490011000655505032100765520030101086650001901387650003001406650003001436650009001466650010101556650011001657700007601767710003401843773002001877776003601897776003601933776003601969830011002005856004602115912001402161950005302175978-3-319-33972-6DE-He21320191028182729.0cr nn 008mamaa160926s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193397269978-3-319-33972-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-33972-62doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aPSB2thema04a571.9522310aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 239h[electronic resource] /cedited by Pim de Voogt.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 187 p. 20 illus., 10 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Continuation of Residue Reviews,x0179-5953 ;v2390 a1.

Rich, diverse and thought provoking collection of top level contributions, it will help to facilitate the transition towards sustainability and educational reform. A fabulous composition of papers by the authors who really count! Ernst von Weizsäcker, The Club of Rome The authors present a refreshing perspective on the possibilities of human progress in harmony with nature, without the need for economic growth to secure long term human welfare and wise use of nature's services. Extremely relevant. Peter May, Past President, International Society for Ecological Economics and Professor, UFRRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The book goes well beyond the Green Economy, offering arguments and blueprints for a complete makeover of the current economic system. With multi- and interdisciplinary contributions ranging from moderately to fundamentally critical of current economics, it raises fundamental questions of value and power, draws on a wide range of theories, opens the eyes for the historical processes that brought about the current crises and demonstrates the value of ecological, but also classical economic thinking to their solution. If better politics require better theories, this is a must read for academics and decision makers in the time of climate crisis.

It is based on global atmospheric models such as the standard atmospheric model with averaged atmospheric parameters across the globe and over time, the Earth’s energetic balance, and the global electric circuit that allows to analyze fundamental atmospheric properties to be analyzed. Rate constants of elementary processes in the Earth’s atmosphere, together with measured atmospheric parameters and existing concepts of atmospheric phenomena, are used in the analysis of global and local atmospheric processes. Atmospheric photoprocesses result from the interaction of solar radiation with the atmosphere and processes involving ions, oxygen atoms, excited atomic particles and ozone molecules. Atmospheric electricity as a secondary phenomenon to atmospheric water circulation results in a chain of processes that begins with collisions of water aerosols in different aggregate states. Cosmic rays are of importance for atmospheric electricity, as they create positive and negative ions in the air. Air breakdown in an electric field of clouds in the form of lightning may develop under the influence of cosmic ray-created seed electrons, which are necessary for electron multiplication in ionization wave-streamers. The upper atmosphere (ionosphere) is formed under solar radiation in a vacuum ultraviolet spectrum, and absorption of this radiation leads to air photoionization. The greenhouse effect is determined by atmospheric water, whereas transitions between a water vapor and aerosols may lead to a change in atmospheric optical depth. Carbon dioxide contributes in small portions to the atmospheric greenhouse effect. Cosmic rays are of importance for atmospheric discharge, the origin of lightning and cloud formation in the first stage of aerosol growth. This book provides a qualitative description of atmospheric properties and phenomena based on elementary processes and simple models. . 0aGeophysics. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aMeteorology. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aAir pollution. 0aAtoms. 0aPhysics.14aGeophysics and Environmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3200024aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31200024aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3501024aAtomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P240092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331930812808iPrinted edition:z978331930814208iPrinted edition:z9783319808925 0aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-521740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30813-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03387nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001700190072002300207072001600230082001500246100008100261245022100342250001800563264007500581300006400656336002600720337002600746338003600772347002400808490005600832505020000888520091401088650002002002650002902022650009102051650011302142650010002255700008002355700007702435700007402512710003402586773002002620776003602640776003602676830005602712856004602768912001402814950005302828978-3-319-51680-6DE-He21320191022171604.0cr nn 008mamaa170127s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195168069978-3-319-51680-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-51680-62doi 4aQC902.8-903.2 7aRNPG2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNPG2thema04a577.272231 aAbdul Malak, Dania.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aAdapting to Climate Changeh[electronic resource] :bAn Assessment of Vulnerability and Risks to Human Security in the Western Mediterranean Basin /cby Dania Abdul Malak, Katriona McGlade, Diana Pascual, Eduard Pla.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 100 p. 11 illus., 9 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-55470 a1. Introduction -- 2.The Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean -- 3.Impact Assessment -- 4. Policy Assessment -- 5.Vulnerability Assessment -- 6.Conclusions and Recommendations.  aThis book examines the water-related impacts of climate change in the UNESCO Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean (IBRM) straddling Spain and Morocco. This is the first in-depth publication on a fascinating transboundary case study; while climate change effects are rather homogenous across the IBRM, differing socio-economic contexts, land-use patterns and policy frameworks in Spain and Morocco mean considerable variations in vulnerability and consequences for human security. The authors have produced a novel and integrated vulnerability assessment that combines hydro-ecological, socio-economic and policy analyses. The interdisciplinary approach and insights contained in this volume will appeal both to those interested in the integration of natural and social sciences as well as those working on water and climate change from academic, practical or policy-oriented perspectives. . 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental economics.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480001 aMcGlade, Katriona.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aPascual, Diana.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aPla, Eduard.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951678308iPrinted edition:z9783319516790 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51680-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04988nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245015300253250001800406264007500424300003400499336002600533337002600559338003600585347002400621490006200645505141700707520096602124650002903090650001503119650001803134650002603152650002103178650010003199650010203299650008903401650009703490650016403587700008503751700007503836700008303911700007903994710003404073773002004107776003604127776003604163776003604199830006204235856004604297912001404343950005304357978-3-319-51131-3DE-He21320191023122025.0cr nn 008mamaa170225s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195113139978-3-319-51131-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-51131-32doi 4aGE1-350 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a577.1422314aThe Souss‐Massa River Basin, Moroccoh[electronic resource] /cedited by Redouane Choukr Allah, Ragab Ragab, Lhoussaine Bouchaou, Damià Barceló.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 355 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,x1867-979X ;v530 aWater Resources Master Plan for Sustainable development of the Souss-Massa River Basin -- Physical geography, geology and water resources availability of the Souss-Massa River Basin -- Flood Hazard Mapping and Modeling using GIS applied to the Souss River watershed -- Dams siltation and soil erosion in Souss Massa river basin -- Assessment of climate and land use changes impacts on groundwater resources in the Souss-Massa River basin -- Assessment of groundwater quality: Impact of natural and anthropogenic contamination in Souss-Massa River Basin -- Groundwater dependent ecosystems in the Souss-Massa River region: an economic valuation of ecosystems services -- Environmental Risk Assessment of the reuse of treated wastewaters in the Souss-Massa River Basin -- Contribution of sea water desalination to cope with water scarcity in Souss Massa region in Southern Morocco -- SALTMED Model and its application on field crops, different water and field management and under current and future climate change -- Water use efficiency and valuation in agriculture in the Souss-Massa -- The Great Catchment of Souss-Massa Wadi (Morocco) -- Relationship Protected Areas and Ecotourism -- Experiences, success stories and Lessons Learnt from the Implementation of the Water law Framework Directive in the Souss-Massa River Basin -- Socio-Economics and Governance of Water Resources in the Souss-Massa River Basin.  aThis volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the water resources in the Souss-Massa river basin in southwestern Morocco and provides novel water-management approaches to narrow the gap between supply and demand for water. It evaluates conventional water resources−surface water and groundwater−and discusses in detail rainfall harvesting into dams along the Souss and Massa wadis. Further, it explores topics including the geology of the aquifer; the risk of over exploitation; alternative water resources, such as desalinated seawater and treated domestic wastewater, as well as management approaches like Data Development Analysis and the SALTMED model. With a focus on linking scientific research to practical applications and the demands of agriculture and associated agro-industry, urbanization and tourism, which compete for the limited water resources, the book appeals to environmental scientists, geologists, engineers and environmental managers. 0aEnvironmental chemistry. 0aHydrology. 0aHydrogeology. 0aAnalytical chemistry. 0aWater pollution.14aEnvironmental Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1500024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aAnalytical Chemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C1100624aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U350401 aChoukr Allah, Redouane.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRagab, Ragab.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBouchaou, Lhoussaine.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBarceló, Damià.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951129008iPrinted edition:z978331951130608iPrinted edition:z9783319845753 0aThe Handbook of Environmental Chemistry,x1867-979X ;v5340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51131-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03123nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236245012500248250001800373264006700391300006300458336002600521337002600547338003600573347002400609490006200633505014500695520072400840650001801564650002001582650001701602650001301619650001601632650002701648650008901675650011401764650008801878650008401966650010502050700007702155710003402232773002002266776003602286776003602322776003602358830006202394856004602456912001402502950005302516978-94-024-1106-5DE-He21320191021181342.0cr nn 008mamaa170321s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024110659978-94-024-1106-57 a10.1007/978-94-024-1106-52doi 4aHM545 7aJHM2bicssc 7aSOC0020002bisacsh 7aJHM2thema04a30122310aClimate Change and Human Responsesh[electronic resource] :bA Zooarchaeological Perspective /cedited by Gregory Monks.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXX, 232 p. 65 illus., 2 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,x1877-90770 aIntroduction -- Section 1: Pleistocene - Holocene Transition -- Section 2: Early - mid-Holocene -- Section 3: Recent Holocene -- Discussion.  aThis book contributes to the current discussion on climate change by presenting selected studies on the ways in which past human groups responded to climatic and environmental change. In particular, the chapters show how these responses are seen in the animal remains that people left behind in their occupation sites. Many of these bones represent food remains, so the environments in which these animals lived can be identified and human use of those environments can be understood. In the case of climatic change resulting in environmental change, these animal remains can indicate that a change has occurred, in climate, environment and human adaptation, and can also indicate the specific details of those changes. 0aAnthropology. 0aClimate change. 0aArchaeology. 0aZoology. 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology.14aAnthropology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1200024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aZoology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2500724aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U210061 aMonks, Gregory.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940241105808iPrinted edition:z978940241107208iPrinted edition:z9789402414905 0aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,x1877-907740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-1106-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05151nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172050001300185072001500198072002300213072001400236072001500250082001400265245011700279250001800396264007500414300006400489336002600553337002600579338003600605347002400641505185900665520125702524650002803781650001803809650011303827650012403940650016004064700007704224700008104301710003404382773002004416776003604436776003604472776003604508856004604544912001404590950005304604978-3-319-45421-4DE-He21320191029002231.0cr nn 008mamaa161222s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194542149978-3-319-45421-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-45421-42doi 4aGE45.M38 4aGE45.M37 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema 7aPBW2thema04a333.722310aPartial Order Concepts in Applied Sciencesh[electronic resource] /cedited by Marco Fattore, Rainer Bruggemann.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 307 p. 87 illus., 26 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPart I.Theoretical and methodological advances -- 1.Endowing posets with flesh: if, why and how? -- 2.Incomparability/inequality measures and clustering -- 3.Incomparable – what now, IV.

For years, partial order theory has been considered a fundamental branch of mathematics of only theoretical interest. In recent years, its effectiveness as a tool for data analysis is increasingly being realized and many applications of partially ordered sets to real problems in statistics and applied sciences have appeared. Main examples pertain to the analysis of complex and multidimensional systems of ordinal data and to problems of multi-criteria decision making, so relevant in social and environmental sciences. Partial Order Concepts in Applied Sciences presents new theoretical and methodological developments in partial order for data analysis, together with a wide range of applications to different topics: multidimensional poverty, economic development, inequality measurement, ecology and pollution, and biology, to mention a few. The book is of interest for applied mathematicians, statisticians, social scientists, environmental scientists and all those aiming at keeping pace with innovation in this interesting, growing and promising research field. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aStatistics .14aMath.

It argues that achieving sustainable economic development is irretrievably tied to the security of the water–energy–food nexus, which is in turn essential for bringing about sustained peace. Further, it discusses various approaches to achieving these lofty objectives, and offers the following take-away messages: The Arab region is currently under considerable water stress, and the situation will continue to get worse with a number of global changes – most notably those related to climate and regional water distribution. Viable solutions are available in the Arab region and can be implemented through innovative policies, judicious use of new technologies, and stimulating public opinion. Integration across water, energy, and food sectors is obviously needed but achieving it in practice is extremely challenging. There are some gaps in the scientific understanding but at the same time there is a wealth of data and synthesized information that can guide decision-making. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state. 0aChemistry. 0aSocial structure. 0aSocial inequality. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aWater-supply.14aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11200024aChemistry/Food Science, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/C0000424aSocial Structure, Social Inequality.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2201024aWater and Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21300024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aWater Industry/Water Technologies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2140001 aAmer, Kamel.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAdeel, Zafar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBöer, Benno.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSaleh, Walid.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331948407508iPrinted edition:z978331948409908iPrinted edition:z9783319839356 0aWater Security in a New World,x2367-400840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-48408-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04217nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245019600266250001800462264007500480300006300555336002600618337002600644338003600670347002400706490004400730505082600774520084601600650002902446650003002475650002202505650004002527650002702567650010002594650010102694650009302795650012002888700008103008700007903089700007603168700007603244710003403320773002003354776003603374776003603410776003603446830004403482856004603526912001403572950005303586978-3-319-47868-5DE-He21320191028081534.0cr nn 008mamaa161110s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194786859978-3-319-47868-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-47868-52doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aHandbook of Theory and Practice of Sustainable Development in Higher Education h[electronic resource] :bVolume 1 /cedited by Walter Leal Filho, Luciana Brandli, Paula Castro, Julie Newman.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 486 p. 75 illus., 60 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aWorld Sustainability Series,x2199-73730 aInclusion of Sustainability in University Classrooms Through Methodology -- Controlling Risks Through Flexibility and Urban Integration: The Regeneration of Otaniemi Campus in Finland -- Sustainability Education: Towards Total Sustainability Management Teaching -- Fostering The Professionalization of Business Students Through Education for Sustainable Development at University -- Fauna Protection in a Sustainable University Campus: Bird-Window Collision Mitigation Strategies at Temple University -- Multimedia Exhibition Teaches Undergraduate Students about Sustainable Fashion -- Campus Infrastructure and Sustainable Resource Management Practices: Mapping Campus DNA for Human Resiliency -- Developing Sustainability Competence for Future Professional Accountants: The Integrative Role of an Undergraduate Program.  aThis Handbook approaches sustainable development in higher education from an integrated perspective, addressing the dearth of publications on the subject.

The first part focuses on the study of lower-mantle minerals, identified as inclusions in diamonds from different regions of the world. Three associations are established among the lower-mantle minerals: ultramafic, mafic, and carbonatic. The carbonatic association is of particular interest because it characterizes the media of natural diamond formation. In turn, the second part analyzes the structure of the lower mantle, revealing its heterogeneous composition. It is based on the results of experiments demonstrating phase transitions in lower-mantle minerals, and on seismological data. Deep-seated earthquakes point to the presence within the lower mantle of numerous seismic boundaries caused by mineral structure transitions. In closing, the last part of the book compares observed data with experimental data, highlighting several discrepancies that indicate Earth may have a more complex planetary history than previously assumed, and examining its primarily non-chondritic composition. 0aGeochemistry. 0aMineralogy. 0aPlanetology.14aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3800024aPlanetology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955683308iPrinted edition:z978331955685708iPrinted edition:z9783319857268 0aSpringer Geology,x2197-954540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55684-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07208nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245020200254250001800456264007500474300006600549336002600615337002600641338003600667347002400703490008100727505280700808520209703615650003005712650002905742650002905771650010105800650010005901650010006001700007806101700007506179700008006254710003406334773002006368776003606388776003606424776003606460830008106496856004606577912001406623950005306637978-3-319-45755-0DE-He21320191021182346.0cr nn 008mamaa170406s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194575509978-3-319-45755-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-45755-02doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aSocial and Ecological System Dynamicsh[electronic resource] :bCharacteristics, Trends, and Integration in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia /cedited by Krystyna Stave, Goraw Goshu, Shimelis Aynalem.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 652 p. 95 illus., 73 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAESS Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies and Sciences Series,x2509-97870 aSECTION I: Overview -- 1.

Participatory System Dynamics Mapping for Collaboration and Socioecological Integration in the Lake Tana Region.  aThis book is a social—ecological system description and feedback analysis of the Lake Tana Basin, the headwater catchment of the Upper Blue Nile River. This basin is an important local, national, and international resource, and concern about its sustainable development is growing at many levels. Lake Tana Basin outflows of water, sediments, nutrients, and contaminants affect water that flows downstream in the Blue Nile across international boundaries into the Nile River; the lake and surrounding land have recently been designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; the basin has been identified as a key national economic growth corridor in the Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan. In spite of the Lake Tana Basin’s importance, there is no comprehensive, integrated, system-wide description of its characteristics and dynamics that can serve as a basis for its sustainable development. This book presents both the social and ecological characteristics of the region and an integrated, system-wide perspective of the feedback links that shape social and ecological change in the basin. Finally, it summarizes key research needs for sustainable development. The Lake Tana Basin is the most economically, historically, and environmentally important subbasin of the Upper Blue Nile River System. Three million people live in this headwater catchment area, most in rural areas but increasingly migrating to urban settlements, including the cities of Bahir Dar and Gondar. The region is experiencing significant population, economic, ecosystem, and social change. Urbanization, intensification of rural land use, environmental degradation, and climate change are some of the pressures that require research-based management and policy action to protect resources and promote healthy development. There are many researchers and decision-makers focusing on the region. However, research efforts are fragmented and are often not visible or useful to decision-makers. This book addresses the need for a coordinated approach to understanding and managing this complex social—ecological system. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aEnvironmental economics.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W480001 aStave, Krystyna.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGoshu, Goraw.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAynalem, Shimelis.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945753608iPrinted edition:z978331945754308iPrinted edition:z9783319833651 0aAESS Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies and Sciences Series,x2509-978740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45755-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04005nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000900172050001600181072001600197072002300213072001500236072001600251082001600267082001500283245020700298250001800505264007500523300006400598336002600662337002600688338003600714347002400750490006800774505047600842520110601318650002302424650002002447650001902467650011602486650009002602700008602692700007802778700008602856700007302942700008103015710003403096773002003130776003603150776003603186776003603222830006803258856004603326912001403372950005303386978-3-319-55777-9DE-He21320191026011321.0cr nn 008mamaa170519s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195577799978-3-319-55777-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-55777-92doi 4aQK95 4aQK101-474.5 7aPST2bicssc 7aSCI0110002bisacsh 7aPST2thema 7aPSAB2thema04a578.01222304a578.0922310aPlant Diversity in the Central Great Caucasus: A Quantitative Assessmenth[electronic resource] /cedited by George Nakhutsrishvili, Otar Abdaladze, Ketevan Batsatsashvili, Eva Spehn, Christian Körner.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVII, 170 p. 19 illus., 7 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aGeobotany Studies, Basics, Methods and Case Studies,x2198-25620 aA Geostatistical and Bioclimatological Comparison of the Central Great Caucasus and the Central Alps -- Vegetation of the Central Great Caucasus Along W-E and N-S Transects -- Plant Diversity of the Central Great Caucasus -- Quantitative Analysis of the Phytosociological Relevés From the Central Greater Caucasus -- A Comparison of Climatic Niches of the Same Alpine Plant Species in the Central Caucasus and the Alps -- New Indicator Values for Central Caucasus Flora.  aThis book presents the first assessment of the high-elevation flora of the Central Caucasus with a community ecology emphasis. Following a geostatistical-climatological description of the region (in comparison to the European Alps), it describes the montane, alpine and nival plant assemblages on the basis of an ecological approach that combines moisture, soils and local habitat peculiarities. Highlights include the famous giant herb communities in treeless parts of the upper montane belt, the various facets of alpine turf, and the unique assemblages and settings in the nival region. Further chapters address potential niche conservation between the Caucasus and the Alps, as well as a compilation of plant species habitat preferences (indicator values) that applies to a concept developed for the Alps. Richly illustrated and featuring extensive quantitative data on species abundance, the book offers a unique guide to the plant species diversity of this prominent mountain range, and a valuable resource for comparative ecology and biodiversity assessments of warm temperate mountain systems. 0aPlant systematics. 0aPlant taxonomy. 0aPlant ecology.14aPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2405124aPlant Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L191121 aNakhutsrishvili, George.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAbdaladze, Otar.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBatsatsashvili, Ketevan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSpehn, Eva.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKörner, Christian.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955776208iPrinted edition:z978331955778608iPrinted edition:z9783319857442 0aGeobotany Studies, Basics, Methods and Case Studies,x2198-256240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55777-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04456nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001600190072002300206072001500229082001400244245013200258250001800390264006700408300006700475336002600542337002600568338003600594347002400630490007500654505040500729520173901134650001802873650001602891650001802907650003002925650008902955650009503044650008903139650011003228700007403338700007403412700007803486710003403564773002003598776003603618776003603654776003603690830007503726856004603801912001403847950005303861978-94-024-0996-3DE-He21320191027042942.0cr nn 008mamaa170224s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024099639978-94-024-0996-37 a10.1007/978-94-024-0996-32doi 4aGB1001-1199.8 7aRBK2bicssc 7aSCI0810002bisacsh 7aRBK2thema04a551.422310aGeological Storage of CO2 in Deep Saline Formationsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Auli Niemi, Jacob Bear, Jacob Bensabat.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 554 p. 154 illus., 115 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aTheory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media,x0924-6118 ;v290 aCO2 storage in deep geological formations -- The concept -- Field characterization techniques -- Processes occurring during injection, spreading and storage of CO2 -- Mathematical models -- Laboratory experiments -- Natural analogue studies -- Numerical modeling of CO2 geological storage -- Field sites and field studies -- Performance assessment of CO2 storage sites -- Legislation and regulations.  aThis book offers readers a comprehensive overview, and an in-depth understanding, of suitable methods for quantifying and characterizing saline aquifers for the geological storage of CO2. It begins with a general overview of the methodology and the processes that take place when CO2 is injected and stored in deep saline-water-containing formations. It subsequently presents mathematical and numerical models used for predicting the consequences of CO2 injection.  This book provides descriptions of relevant experimental methods, from laboratory experiments to field scale site characterization and techniques for monitoring spreading of the injected CO2 within the formation. Experiences from a number of important field injection projects are reviewed, as are those from CO2 natural analog sites. Lastly, the book presents relevant risk management methods. Geological storage of CO2 is widely considered to be a key technology capable of substantially reducing the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, thereby reducing the negative impacts of such releases on the global climate. Around the world, projects are already in full swing, while others are now being initiated and executed to demonstrate the technology.  Deep saline formations are the geological formations considered to hold the highest storage potential, due to their abundance worldwide. To date, however, these formations have been relatively poorly characterized, due to their low economic value. Accordingly, the processes involved in injecting and storing CO2 in such formations still need to be better quantified and methods for characterizing, modeling and monitoring this type of CO2 storage in such formations must be rapidly developed and refined. 0aHydrogeology. 0aGeophysics. 0aGeochemistry. 0aEnvironmental monitoring.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X1 aNiemi, Auli.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBear, Jacob.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBensabat, Jacob.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940240994908iPrinted edition:z978940240995608iPrinted edition:z9789402414608 0aTheory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media,x0924-6118 ;v2940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-0996-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04201nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001700172072001700189072002300206072001600229082001400245100007900259245013500338250001800473264006500491300006500556336002600621337002600647338003600673347002400709490004500733505050200778520136301280650001902643650001902662650001802681650001502699650002402714650001602738650009002754650009002844650008902934650010203023650009503125650009503220710003403315773002003349776003603369776003603405776003603441830004503477856004603522912001403568950005303582978-981-10-5110-4DE-He21320191022111600.0cr nn 008mamaa170725s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110511049978-981-10-5110-47 a10.1007/978-981-10-5110-42doi 4aQE471-471.15 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aSCI0910002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a551.32231 aKashiwaya, Kenji.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aGeomorphology of Lake-Catchment Systemsh[electronic resource] :bA New Perspective from Limnogeomorphology /cby Kenji Kashiwaya.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 139 p. 131 illus., 104 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEnvironmental Earth Sciences,x2199-91550 aIntroduction -- Lake-catchment system and drainage system -- Climatic (climato-geomorphic) forces on lake-catchment systems -- Tectonic (tectono-geomorphic) forces on systems -- Anthropogenic forces on systems -- Observations on lake-catchment systems and experimental models -- Observation of a small lake-catchment system (Kawauso-ike system) after the Kobe earthquake and mathematical models -- Long-term changes and phenomenological models -- Long-term external forcing and limnogeomorphology.  aThis book presents the study of limnogeomorphology, in which past proxy data such as lacustrine sediments with information on landform development can be linked to modern observed data acquired by instruments, including hydro-geomorphological and sedimentary data. Traditionally, in the field of earth sciences, it has been thought that geophysical studies dealing mainly with the present process were not smoothly linked to geological studies that originated from historical studies. Although such earth-surface process studies are closely related to those on historical landform development in the field of geomorphology, they have been studied separately. Those two geomorphology studies correspond to process geomorphology (dynamic geomorphology) and historical geomorphology. There have been some attempts to combine them; however, they lacked past quantitative records available for further analyses. In the study of limnogeomorphology, proxy data can be converted to quantitative information to be utilized in future environmental discussions. This book also covers information not only on large lake-catchment systems, but on small systems. Those include long-term and short-term and large-scale and small-scale environmental changes in east Eurasia such as Lake Baikal, Lake Khuvsgul, Lake Biwa, and small lakes in Japan, Mongolia, China, and Korea. 0aSedimentology. 0aGeomorphology. 0aHydrogeology. 0aHydrology. 0aHistorical geology. 0aGeophysics.14aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1708024aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aHistorical Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1702024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981105109808iPrinted edition:z978981105111108iPrinted edition:z9789811353222 0aEnvironmental Earth Sciences,x2199-915540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-5110-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04210nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001500185072002300200072001400223072001400237082001200251245013500263250001800398264006500416300004600481336002600527337002600553338003600579347002400615490003300639505010200672520212000774650002402894650002002918650009802938650011403036650009103150700007703241700007803318710003403396773002003430776003603450776003603486776003603522830003303558856004603591912001403637950005303651978-981-10-2531-0DE-He21320191022081537.0cr nn 008mamaa161103s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110253109978-981-10-2531-07 a10.1007/978-981-10-2531-02doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema 7aTQ2thema04a55022310aObserved Climate Variability and Change over the Indian Regionh[electronic resource] /cedited by M.

The book addresses all the important parameters of regional climate system so that a physically consistent view of the changes of the climate system is documented. The book contains 16 chapters written by the subject experts from different academic and research institutes in India. The book addresses all important components/parameters of the climate system, like rainfall, temperature, humidity, clouds, moisture, sea surface temperature and ocean heat content, sea level, glaciers and snow cover, tropical cyclones and monsoon depressions, extreme rainfall and rainstorms, heat waves and cold waves, meteorological droughts, aerosols, atmospheric aerosols, ozone and trace gases and atmospheric radiative fluxes. One chapter deals with the past monsoon using monsoon proxy data. The last chapter deals with the future climate change projections over the Indian region (rainfall and temperature) made using coupled climate models. Most of the analyses (especially on rainfall, temperature, extreme rainfall, sea surface temperature, meteorological droughts) are based on the data for a longer period of 110 years, 1901–2010. For some other parameters like moisture, clouds, heat waves and cold waves, atmospheric aerosols, ozone and trace gases and radiative fluxes, data of shorter period have been used. The articles documented inter-annual and decadal variability in addition to documenting long term trends of different parameters. The trends have been tested for statistical significance using standard techniques. It is expected that the present book will be an excellent reference material for researchers as well as for policy makers. These results will be useful in interpreting future climate change scenarios over the region being projected using coupled climate models. Further analysis of these results is required for attributing the observed variability and change to natural and anthropogenic activities. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change.14aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3500024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U120071 aRajeevan, M.

Conclusions and Recommendations.  aThis volume evaluates technical and social aspects of a watershed management program in the Kush-Abad Watershed Basin in Iran. Author Bahram Mohammadi Golrang offers a way forward for a more integrated means to evaluate large scale rural environmental management projects, their effects on the physical environment, how to engage the public in such projects, and how nearby communities interact with them and perceive their effects. The analysis presented here focuses on land treatment efforts initiated by the Watershed Management Organization of Iran, and evaluation spans the project-planning stage through the project’s implementation to citizens’ perceptions of the project after it was completed. Project planners – especially those in developing countries – will find the lessons in this case study very useful in planning technically sound projects that achieve participation and satisfaction from local populations. . 0aEnvironmental management.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331952146608iPrinted edition:z9783319521480 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52147-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03373nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239100007700255245010600332250001800438264007500456300006800531336002600599337002600625338003600651347002400687490003500711505050000746520071201246650003801958650002401996650002102020650002102041650012102062650013402183650013602317650009202453710003402545773002002579776003602599776003602635776003602671830003502707856004602742912001402788950005302802978-3-319-40925-2DE-He21320191022011150.0cr nn 008mamaa160910s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194092529978-3-319-40925-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-40925-22doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.2852231 aDarques, Regis.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMapping Versatile Boundariesh[electronic resource] :bUnderstanding the Balkans /cby Regis Darques.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIV, 322 p. 139 illus., 123 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction -- Hidden and showcased boundaries.

A holistic perspective of the frontier issue in the Balkans -- Spaces under the microscope: looking closely at border fluctuations through remote sensing -- Broken lands and hurt populations: Eastern Macedonia -- Conclusion.  aThis book demonstrates the pivotal role played by state confines in the geography of Balkan countries through powerful GIS and remote sensing analyses. It provides unique mapping perspectives on the Balkan region, with over 140 illustrations. The book is dedicated to applied, historical and economic geographers, as well as political scientists. Because of its high fragmentation, the Balkan area has not been studied on a systematic transnational basis. The persistence of frozen and/or open conflicts has also turned the border issue into an absolute taboo subject for the scientific community and civil society. This results in an apparent “chaos” that most Western observers fail to understand. . 0aGeographical information systems. 0aPhysical geography. 0aUrban geography. 0aHuman geography.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1900024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X260002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331940924508iPrinted edition:z978331940926908iPrinted edition:z9783319822198 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-40925-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03535nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256100007900268245008800347250001800435264007500453300006500528336002600593337002600619338003600645347002400681490003800705505027900743520113401022650002302156650002002179650002502199650002902224650002302253650011402276650009602390650010002486650009402586710003402680773002002714776003602734776003602770776003602806830003802842856004602880912001402926950005302940978-3-319-57367-0DE-He21320191024152126.0cr nn 008mamaa170602s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195736709978-3-319-57367-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-57367-02doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a7102231 aLa Riccia, Luigi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aLandscape Planning at the Local Levelh[electronic resource] /cby Luigi La Riccia.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 176 p. 43 illus., 32 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X0 a1. Introduction -- 2. Landscape in the urban planning culture of the twentieth century -- 3. Landscape in the urban planning practices. Case studies in Italy and Europe -- 4. Theoretical and operative recommendations for urban planning -- 5. Perspectives for new landscapes.  aThe book, showing virtuous examples of urban planning in Italy and Europe, exposes certain doubts and open questions: what is the new role of urban planning? What actions / rules are now achievable for the protection, planning and management of local-scale landscapes? The overall reflections gathered in the book contribute to suggest innovative visions about landscape planning at local scale, seen as first steps towards a more functional change of perspective. New landscapes are the result of local planning practices that no longer seem able to “understand” the current society through urban design. Public space and new urban centralities interact with the increasingly complex functions of social life and mark the distance from territorial values, relying less and less on physical relationships (economic and functional) and increasingly on symbolic and intangible relationships, as ‘cultural identity’. Landscape is essential for the sustainable future of the urban and rural territory: the landscape quality is a factor of economic competitiveness and acts also as a factor of social cohesion and integration. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aNature conservation. 0aSustainable development. 0aCultural heritage.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aCultural Heritage.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4190002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331957366308iPrinted edition:z978331957368708iPrinted edition:z9783319861449 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57367-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03527nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001200238100008000250245017400330250001800504264007500522300006500597336002600662337002600688338003600714347002400750490004300774505047100817520075701288650001702045650001302062650002602075650003002101650002002131650008802151650009202239650009902331650012302430650011402553710003402667773002002701776003602721776003602757776003602793830004302829856004602872912001402918950005302932978-3-319-54439-7DE-He21320191021221054.0cr nn 008mamaa170526s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195443979978-3-319-54439-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-54439-72doi 4aS1-S972 7aTVB2bicssc 7aTEC0030002bisacsh 7aTVB2thema04a6302231 aHamada, Youssef M.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, its Impact on Egyptian Agriculture and the Potential for Alleviating Water Scarcity h[electronic resource] /cby Youssef M.

Many international summits and conferences have declared that there is an urgent need to save agriculture from its demise. Most international agencies now recognize that something must be done, but what? Beyond policy changes, the restructuring of global governance and institutional reforms are called for. Commitments must be translated into concrete actions leading to a renewed interest in agriculture and a return to the basic objective of achieving food security. 0aAgriculture. 0aPoverty. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aClimate change.14aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aDevelopment Aid.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91304024aEnvironmental Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3800024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954438008iPrinted edition:z978331954440308iPrinted edition:z9783319853925 0aEnvironment & Policy,x1383-5130 ;v5540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54439-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03283nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245017400255250001800429264007500447300006700522336002600589337002600615338003600641347002400677490005900701520057800760650003801338650002601376650003501402650002901437650002901466650012101495650012601616650009701742650011301839650010001952650009802052700008102150700007602231700007602307710003402383773002002417776003602437776003602473776003602509830005902545856004602604912001402650950005302664978-3-319-22786-3DE-He21320191021181930.0cr nn 008mamaa170104s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833192278639978-3-319-22786-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-22786-32doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aAdvances in Geocomputationh[electronic resource] :bGeocomputation 2015--The 13th International Conference /cedited by Daniel A.

Biodiversity and Sustainable development – A Retrospect.  aDivided into three sections, this book explores the three main pillars of sustainable development, namely economy, environment and society, and their interlinkages at the regional level. The first section, Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) for sustainable development, focuses on international agreements and national legislation, as well as the challenges in implementing ABS in e.g. India. In turn, the second section examines the process of forming Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) at the Local Self Government (LSG) level to promote environmental sustainability, highlighting local and community-level conservation initiatives that have led to the conservation of habitats and species. The third section addresses poverty eradication and food security. The case studies included demonstrate how the combination of traditional knowledge and modern techniques can enhance the productivity of traditional crop varieties, yielding greater benefits for communities. The aim of this volume is to disseminate the lessons learned from these case studies, as well as the findings from projects already in place, which can offer recommendations that can be applied to similar problems elsewhere in an attempt to find environmental solutions for sustainable development. Further, it introduces readers to new approaches to inclusive development, demonstrating that participation and grass root empowerment are key drivers of equitable and sustainable development. 0aSustainable development. 0aBiodiversity. 0aEcosystems. 0aNature conservation. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1903124aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U160021 aLaladhas, K.P.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aNilayangode, Preetha.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aV.

Climate changes and the uncertainty of future hydrological regimes make sustainable water resources management a difficult task, requiring a set of approaches that address climate variability and change. The book focuses on three main themes: hydrological changes, adaptive decision-making for water resources, and institutional analysis and risk management. It discusses the applications and limitations of climate change models and scenarios related to precipitation projection, which predicts to the future availability of water. It also offers interesting examples from around the globe to describe the policy options for dealing with climate change. Addressing emerging issues that need to be resolved and techniques that can be applied for sustainable climate-change-sensitive water resources protection and management, this practical, state-of-the-art reference book is a valuable resource for researchers, students and professionals interested in sustainable water resources management in a changing climate. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHydrology. 0aClimate change. 0aWater pollution.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U350401 aKolokytha, Elpida.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aOishi, Satoru.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aTeegavarapu, Ramesh S.V.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102049008iPrinted edition:z978981102050608iPrinted edition:z978981109514640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2051-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03197nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222072001500236082001500251245011900266250001800385264007500403300006500478336002600543337002600569338003600595347002400631490011000655505061100765520030301376650001901679650003001698650001901728650002101747650002901768650009001797650010101887650010601988650010002094700007602194710003402270773002002304776003602324776003602360776003602396830011002432856004602542912001402588950005302602978-3-319-58724-0DE-He21320191027141911.0cr nn 008mamaa170513s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195872409978-3-319-58724-07 a10.1007/978-3-319-58724-02doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aPSB2thema04a571.9522310aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 243h[electronic resource] /cedited by Pim de Voogt.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 175 p. 28 illus., 13 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aReviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Continuation of Residue Reviews,x0179-5953 ;v2430 a1 Aluminium toxicity to plants as influenced by the properties of the root growth environment affected by other co-stressors: a review -- 2 ARSENIC: A Review on Exposure Pathways, Accumulation, Mobility and Transmission into the Human Food Chain -- 3 Modelling the release, transport and fate of nanoparticles in the environment -

It synthesizes and collates an extensive scientific knowledge to show why climate is changing, and the consequences of those changes. Starting with global carbon cycling over geological history of the Earth, the behavior of the carbon cycle is traced back millions of years prior to human influence and shows that the current atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is unprecedented, which cannot be found in geological records of at least the past two million years. This book sets the foundation for understanding the contemporary carbon cycling, and shows that the contemporary carbon cycling cannot be isolated from geologic history of carbon cycle. This volume also describes the role of carbon sequestration – both natural ecological, engineered and geoengineered options – for mitigating the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration. The role of emerging chemical sequestration and climate engineering as future alternatives to avoid dangerous temperature increase are explored. Although the targeted audience is the educators, students, researchers and scientific community, the simplified analysis and synthesis of current and up to date scientific literature makes the volume easier to understand and a tool policy makers can use to make an informed policy decisions. 0aClimate change. 0aSoil science. 0aSoil conservation. 0aAgriculture.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aSoil Science & Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2800024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L110061 aLal, Rattan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953843308iPrinted edition:z978331953844008iPrinted edition:z978331985255340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53845-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04991nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000700172072001600179072002300195072001500218082001400233100007600247245007700323250001800400264007500418300006700493336002600560337002600586338003600612347002400648505106100672520180301733650002403536650002403560650002203584650002103606650002103627650009503648650013403743650009303877650009203970650013604062710003404198773002004232776003604252776003604288776003604324856004604360912001404406950005304420978-3-319-54009-2DE-He21320191022082308.0cr nn 008mamaa170621s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195400929978-3-319-54009-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-54009-22doi 4aGF 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.22231 aCross, John A.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aEthnic Landscapes of Americah[electronic resource] /cby John A.

Author John Cross links an overview of the spatial distributions of many of the ethnic populations of the United States with highly detailed discussions of specific local cultural landscapes associated with various ethnic groups. This book provides coverage of several ethnic groups that were omitted from previous literature, including Italian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and Arab-Americans, plus several smaller European ethnic populations. The book is organized to provide an overview of each of the substantive ethnic landscapes in the United States. Between its introduction and conclusion, which looks towards the future, the chapters on the various ethnic landscapes are arranged roughly in chronological order, such that the timing of the earliest significant surviving landscape contribution determines the order the groups will be viewed. Within each chapter the contemporary and historical spatial distribution of the ethnic groups are described, the historical geography of the group’s settlement is reviewed, and the salient aspects of material culture that characterize or distinguish the group’s ethnic landscape are discussed. Ethnics Landscapes of America is designed for use in the classroom as a textbook or as a reader in a North American regional course or a cultural geography course. This volume also can function as a detailed summary reference that should be of interest to geographers, historians, ethnic scholars, other social scientists, and the educated public who wish to understand the visible elements of material culture that various ethnic populations have created on the landscape. 0aCultural geography. 0aPhysical geography. 0aCultural studies. 0aHuman geography. 0aUrban geography.14aCultural Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J2200024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1900024aCultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2204024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J150102 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954008508iPrinted edition:z978331954010808iPrinted edition:z978331985295940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54009-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05016nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001500239245013400254250001800388264006500406300006700471336002600538337002600564338003600590347002400626490003500650505188100685520070802566650002403274650002903298650002303327650002003350650002403370650002303394650009503417650010003512650009203612650010603704650010103810700007303911700007203984700007204056710003404128773002004162776003604182776003604218776003604254830003504290856004604325912001404371950005304385978-981-10-2890-8DE-He21320191220125944.0cr nn 008mamaa170823s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110289089978-981-10-2890-87 a10.1007/978-981-10-2890-82doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a910.0222310aLand Cover Change and Its Eco-environmental Responses in Nepalh[electronic resource] /cedited by Ainong Li, Wei Deng, Wei Zhao.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 478 p. 271 illus., 228 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aIntroduction -- Physical geography of Nepal -- Part I Land cover Status of land cover and its dynamics since 1990s in Nepal -- Forest resource in Nepal and its spatio-temporal change -- Land use and Land Cover Change in the Siwalik Hills and Tarai, Nepal and its Environmental Implication -- Land cover change and its driving forces in the Koshi region, Eastern Nepal -- Livelihood and land use pattern of Melamchi basin in mountainous areas of central development region in Nepal -- PartII Eco-environment Ecosystem Trends and Issues in Nepal in the Context of Evolving Earth Observation Technologies -- Geo-Information Based Soil Erosion Modeling for Sustainable Agriculture Development in Khadokhola Watershed, Nepal -- Agriculture Land Abandonment Situation in the Western Hill of Nepal -- Impacts of soil erosion on soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in terraced fields and forestland in the Middle Mountains of Nepal -- PartIII Livelihood Livelihood diversification amidst shocks and stresses in the mountain areas of Nepal: Examples from two villages of Mustang district -- Livelihood of the Street Vendors and their Social Development and Management in the Mountains of Nepal: the case of Kathmandu Valley cities.-Assessments of Climate Change Indicators, Vulnerable Groups and Indigenous Adaptation Strategies: A Case from High Mountain of Nepal -- Spatial differentiation of poverty in Nepal -- Household livelihood strategies and their determinants in rural areas of central Nepal -- Part IV Geo-hazards Earthquake Mitigation and Its Effect on Eco-environment and Social Development: A Case Study from Tamakoshi River Basin of Central Mountain Region of Nepal -- Diversified research on mountain hazards distribution and prevention in Koshi river basin -- Post earthquake geological hazards investigation and analysis: A case study of the Sino-Nepal Highway.  aThis book offers a systematic investigation of the ecological and environmental issues related to the land cover changes in Nepal by researchers from both China and Nepal.

The book is of particular interest to students, researchers, experts, and decision-makers wanting to gain a general overview of land cover in Nepal and its dynamics, environment and natural resources, as well as mountain hazards. 0aPhysical geography. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aNatural disasters. 0aRemote sensing. 0aRegional economics. 0aSpatial economics.14aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aRegional/Spatial Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W490001 aLi, Ainong.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aDeng, Wei.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aZhao, Wei.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981102889208iPrinted edition:z978981102891508iPrinted edition:z9789811097324 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-2890-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03692nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001200240100007400252245012400326250001800450264007500468300006300543336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694505043100718520088501149650001102034650001302045650001702058650001802075650002002093650001602113650001402129650001102143650002802154650002502182650009802207650008802305650010802393650016402501650008702665650012302752710003402875773002002909776003602929776003602965856004603001912001403047950005303061978-3-319-46052-9DE-He21320191022031216.0cr nn 008mamaa161026s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194605299978-3-319-46052-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-46052-92doi 4aQE1-996.5 7aPDZ2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aPDZ2thema04a5502231 aMcColl, Don.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aAustralia's Little Space Travellersh[electronic resource] :bThe Flight Shaped Tektites of Australia /cby Don McColl.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 64 p. 74 illus., 56 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction and History -- Theories of Tektite Origin -- The True Origin of the Australian Tektites -- Where are Tektites Found in Australia? -- Primary Shapes of the Australian Tektites -- Flight Shaping of Australian Tektites -- The Classical Flanged Buttons -- Elongate Flanged Forms -- Miniature Flanged Forms -- Microtektites -- Hollow tektites -- Asymmetric Flanged Form.-s Fragmentation of Flanged Forms -- References.  aThis book provides a showcase for the incredibly well-preserved flight-textured tektites of southern Australia, which are the world’s finest known examples. It provides an overview of their forms and flight features, which can be expected to appear, at least in part, on any objects falling from space. Some of these specimens are so perfectly shaped that it is hard to believe that they have been buried in the recent strata of Australia for 770,000 years. It also discusses the history of the story of their incredible flight into space and return becoming widely accepted, which led to them being recognized as space travelers. Further, it describes their classical shapes and offers an explanation of how each developed. It provides collectors, meteoriticists, and museum curators with insights into the astounding forms of Australian tektites produced by hypersonic flight. 0aEarth. 0aGeology. 0aPlanetology. 0aAstrophysics. 0aSpace sciences. 0aMineralogy. 0aCeramics. 0aGlass. 0aComposites (Materials). 0aComposite materials.14aPopular Earth Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q2200024aPlanetology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1801024aAstrophysics and Astroparticles.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2202224aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P2203024aMineralogy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3800024aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Z180002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946051208iPrinted edition:z978331946053640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46052-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04187nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001200236100007600248245020800324250001800532264007500550300006400625336002600689337002600715338003600741347002400777490007400801505043500875520113701310650002802447650002302475650001602498650002602514650011402540650009202654650009502746650011402841700007702955700007903032700008103111700008003192710003403272773002003306776003603326776003603362776003603398830007403434856004603508912001403554950005303568978-3-319-58154-5DE-He21320191026101233.0cr nn 008mamaa170505s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195815459978-3-319-58154-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-58154-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema04a6282231 aPecker, Alain.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut13aAn Overview of the SIGMA Research Projecth[electronic resource] :bA European Approach to Seismic Hazard Analysis /cby Alain Pecker, Ezio Faccioli, Aybars Gurpinar, Christophe Martin, Philippe Renault.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXI, 172 p. 45 illus., 38 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aGeotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering,x1573-6059 ;v420 a1 Introduction -- 2 General Concepts and PSHA Background -- 3 Seismic Source Characterization -- 4 Rock Motion Characterization -- 5 Site Response Characterization -- 6 Seismic Hazard Computation -- 7 Interfaces Between Sub Projects -- 8 Probabilistic Seismic Testing and Updating of Seismic Hazard Results -- 9 Summary and Way Forward -- 10 References -- 11 Annex 1: List of Committee Members -- 12 Annex 2: List of Publications.  aThis book presents a summary of the important outcomes of the SIGMA project related to all aspects of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment: source characterization, rock motion characterization, site response characterization, and hazard calculations, with for all of them emphasis on the treatment of uncertainties. In recent years, attempts have been made to identify and quantify uncertainties in seismic hazard estimations for regions with moderate seismicity. These uncertainties, for which no estimation standards exist, create major difficulties and can lead to different interpretations and divergent opinions among experts. To address this matter, an international research project was launched in January 2011, by an industrial consortium composed of French and Italian organizations. This program, named SIGMA (Seismic Ground Motion Assessment) lasted for five years and involved a large number of international institutions. This book is intended for instructors running courses on engineering seismology, graduate students in the same field and practicing engineers involved in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analyses. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aNatural disasters. 0aGeophysics. 0aComputer mathematics.14aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3700024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aComputational Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/M140261 aFaccioli, Ezio.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aGurpinar, Aybars.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aMartin, Christophe.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aRenault, Philippe.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331958153808iPrinted edition:z978331958155208iPrinted edition:z9783319863351 0aGeotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering,x1573-6059 ;v4240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-58154-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)07474nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001600242245016600258250001800424264007500442300006800517336002600585337002600611338003600637347002400673490004700697505337700744520192504121650001206046650001706058650003406075650009306109650008806202650010606290700008106396700007306477700008406550710003406634773002006668776003606688776003606724776003606760830004706796856004606843912001406889950005306903978-3-319-53160-1DE-He21320191025191506.0cr nn 008mamaa170516s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195316019978-3-319-53160-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-53160-12doi 4aGB450-460 7aRGBP2bicssc 7aSCI0310002bisacsh 7aRGBP2thema04a551.45722310aUnder the Sea: Archaeology and Palaeolandscapes of the Continental Shelfh[electronic resource] /cedited by Geoffrey N.

Such landscapes were once exposed as dry land during the low sea levels that prevailed during the glacial periods that occupied most of the past million years and provided extensive new territories for human exploitation. Their study today involves underwater investigation, using techniques and strategies which are clearly set out in these chapters. The underwater landscape provides a rich source of information about the archaeology of human settlement and long-term changes in environment, climate and sea-level. This book highlights how such information can be revealed and interpreted. The examples presented here and the focus on techniques make this book of worldwide relevance. Chapters describe examples of underwater archaeological investigation as well as collaboration with offshore industries and legal, management and training issues relating to underwater cultural heritage. Such studies point to the significance of this drowned landscape, and readers are invited to consider its human impact in terms of past settlement and population dispersal through palaeolandscape reconstruction and interpretation in relation to broader themes in human prehistory. This volume is based on work from COST Action SPLASHCOS, a four-year multi-disciplinary and multi-national research program supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) and has something to benefit all those with an interest in the sea floor of the continental shelf and the archaeological and social impact of sea-level change, including archaeologists, marine scientists, geographers, cultural-heritage managers, commercial and governmental organisations, policy makers and interested members of the public. 0aCoasts. 0aArchaeology. 0aCulture—Study and teaching.14aCoastal Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3502024aArchaeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X1300024aRegional and Cultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4110001 aBailey, Geoffrey N.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aHarff, Jan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aSakellariou, Dimitris.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953158808iPrinted edition:z978331953159508iPrinted edition:z9783319850795 0aCoastal Research Library,x2211-0577 ;v2040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53160-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05137nam a22006615i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240100007600257245027200333250001800605264007500623300006200698336002600760337002600786338003600812347002400848490005600872520173200928650001902660650002002679650001802699650002502717650003002742650001902772650002202791650013302813650011302946650011203059650009603171650010103267650011603368700007503484700007503559700007703634700007603711700007403787700007803861700008003939700008104019700008004100710003404180773002004214776003604234776003604270830005604306856004604362912001404408950005304422978-3-319-52434-4DE-He21320191220125303.0cr nn 008mamaa170330s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195243449978-3-319-52434-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-52434-42doi 4aTD881-890 7aRNP2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNP2thema04a363.73922231 aMarland, Eric.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUnderstanding and Analysis: The California Air Resources Board Forest Offset Protocolh[electronic resource] /cby Eric Marland, Grant Domke, Jason Hoyle, Gregg Marland, Laurel Bates, Alex Helms, Benjamin Jones, Tamara Kowalczyk, Tatyana  B.

The research presented here is particularly concerned with these protocols’ use of the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data to describe forest conditions, ownership, and management scenarios, and is oriented towards providing regulators and other interested parties with an objective comparison of the options, uncertainties, and opportunities available to offset GHG emissions through forest management. Chapters focus on the protocols for recognizing forest carbon offsets in the California carbon cap-and-trade program, as described in the Compliance Offset Protocol; U.S. Forest Projects (California Air Resources Board, 2011). Readers will discover the protocols used for quantifying the offset of GHG emissions through forest-related project activity. As such, its scope includes a review of the current methods used in voluntary and compliance forest protocols, an evaluation of the metrics used to assign baselines and determine additionality in the forest offset protocols, an examination of key quantitative and qualitative components and assumptions, and a discussion of opportunities for modifying forest offset protocols, in light of the rapidly changing GHG-related policy and regulatory environment. Finally, the report also discusses accounting and policy issues that create potential barriers to participation in the California cap-and-trade program, and overall programmatic additionality in addressing the needs of a mitigation strategy. 0aAir pollution. 0aClimate change. 0aFossil fuels. 0aForestry management. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state.14aAtmospheric Protection/Air Quality Control/Air Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3501024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aFossil Fuels (incl.

The list of topics has grown greatly in the last few decades beyond the items identified by Eugen Seibold as central and now includes prominently such things as methane and climate change; that is, the carbon cycle and the Earth system as a whole. Relevant geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological methods are shortly described. They should allow the reader to comment on new results about plate tectonics, marine sedimentation from the coasts to the deep sea, climatological aspects, paleoceanology and the use of the sea floor. The text tries to transmit to the reader excitement of marine geological research both aboard and in modern laboratories. Basic mineralogical, geochemical, biological and other relevant data and a detailed list of books and symposia are given in an Appendix. This Introduction builds on the third edition of “The Sea Floor” by E. Seibold and W.H. Berger. While much of the original text was written by Seibold, a considerable portion of the material presented in this edition is new, taking into account the recent great shift in marine geological research, some of it with great relevance to human concerns arising in a rapidly changing world.  . 0aOceanography. 0aSedimentology. 0aEcology . 0aGeoecology. 0aEnvironmental geology. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1708024aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aGeoecology/Natural Processes.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2100624aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U360001 aBerger, Wolfgang.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951411608iPrinted edition:z978331951413008iPrinted edition:z9783319846439 0aSpringer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,x2510-130740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51412-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03685nam a22005175i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100009100266245018400357250001800541264007500559300006500634336002600699337002600725338003600751347002400787490007900811505043800890520102601328650002902354650002602383650002302409650003402432650010002466650009902566650009402665650009002759710003402849773002002883776003602903776003602939830007902975856004603054912001403100950005303114978-3-319-53393-3DE-He21320191024091442.0cr nn 008mamaa170512s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195339339978-3-319-53393-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-53393-32doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aVazquez Maggio, Monica Laura.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMobility Patterns and Experiences of the Middle Classes in a Globalizing Ageh[electronic resource] :bThe Case of Mexican Migrants in Australia /cby Monica Laura Vazquez Maggio.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXI, 188 p. 26 illus., 24 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v60 aMigration, middle class and globalisation -- Who is who?

Its major contributions are two-fold: theoretically, it advances the conceptualisation of middle class migration; empirically, it analyses the migratory motivations of a relatively new Latin-American group in Australia. The accelerated insertion of the Mexican society into globalisation processes is strongly linked not only to the growing participation in migration phenomena but also to people’s outflow to new destinations. Although studies of Mexican emigration are vast, research on Mexican skilled migration is scarce, and research that focuses on mobility to non-USA destinations is even scarcer. Mexicans are a relatively new addition to Australia’s multicultural society, and little is known about this group’s profile and why they choose to migrate to Australia. Employing a mixed methodology approach, the book provides a comprehensive portrait of migration in a new group. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aPolitical science. 0aSocial sciences—Philosophy.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3800024aPolitical Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91100024aSocial Theory.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X221402 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331953392608iPrinted edition:z9783319533940 0aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53393-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04262nam a22006255i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245020800255250001800463264007500481300006700556336002600623337002600649338003600675347002400711490006400735505076200799520058501561650003802146650001302184650002002197650001802217650002202235650002302257650002102280650002902301650012102330650009202451650011802543650011602661650011002777650010002887700007602987700008103063700008003144700007303224710003403297773002003331776003603351776003603387776003603423830006403459856004603523912001403569950005303583978-3-319-56759-4DE-He21320191026162747.0cr nn 008mamaa170404s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195675949978-3-319-56759-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-56759-42doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aSocietal Geo-innovationh[electronic resource] :bSelected papers of the 20th AGILE conference on Geographic Information Science /cedited by Arnold Bregt, Tapani Sarjakoski, Ron van Lammeren, Frans Rip.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 367 p. 136 illus., 105 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aLecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography,x1863-22460 aPart I Spatio-Temporal Perception -- Investigating Representations of Places with Unclear Spatial Extent in Sketch Maps -- Reference Resolution for Pedestrian Wayfinding Systems -- Personal Dimensions of Landmarks -- Personal Activity Centres and Geosocial Data Analysis: Combining Big Data with Small Data -- Part II Spatio-Temporal Analysis -- Spatio-Temporal Road Coverage of Probe Vehicles: A Case Study on Crowd-Sensing of Parking Availability with Taxis -- Dynamic Transfer Patterns for Fast Multi-modal Route Planning -- When Granules Are not Enough in a Theory of Granularities -- On Measures for Groups of Trajectories -- Beyond Pairs: Generalizing the Geo-dipole for Quantifying Spatial Patterns in Geographic Fields -- Part III 20 Years of AGILE.  aThis book contains the full research papers presented at the 20th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science, held in 2017 at Wageningen University & Research in Wageningen, the Netherlands.

Geoengineering, aka Silica to Save the World.  aDo you know silica, the tetrahedra of silicon and oxygen constituting the crystals of New Agers and the desiccant in a box of new shoes? It's no mere mundane mineral. As chemically reacting silicate rocks, silica set off the chain of events known as the origin of life. As biomineralized opal, it is the cell wall, skeleton, spicules, and scales of organisms ornamenting numerous lobes of the tree of life. Cryptocrystalline silica made into stone tools helped drive the evolution of our hands and our capability for complex grammar, music, and mathematics. As quartz crystals, silica is impressively electric and ubiquitous in modern technology (think sonar, radios, telephones, ultrasound, and cheap but precise watches). Silica is inescapable when we take a drink or mow the lawn and it has already started to save the Earth from the carbon dioxide we're spewing into the atmosphere. This book tells these scientific tales and more, to give dear, modest silica its due. 0aEarth. 0aGeology. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment. 0aGeobiology. 0aGeochemistry. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater.14aPopular Earth Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q2200024aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aBiogeosciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3501024aGeochemistry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1400324aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U360001 aConley, Daniel J.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954053508iPrinted edition:z978331954055908iPrinted edition:z978331985306240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54054-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05438nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001500242082001700257082001800274245009200292250001800384264006500402300006800467336002600535337002600561338003600587347002400623505186500647520139202512650002103904650002303925650002603948650001603974650001803990650016404008650010404172650009304276650008704369650008904456700007604545710003404621773002004655776003604675776003604711776003604747856004604783912001404829950005304843978-981-10-1472-7DE-He21320191025081800.0cr nn 008mamaa161114s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110147279978-981-10-1472-77 a10.1007/978-981-10-1472-72doi 4aTD419-428 7aTQSW2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQSW2thema 7aKNB2thema04a363.739422304a363.7394622310aRiver System Analysis and Management h[electronic resource] /cedited by Nayan Sharma.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 417 p. 280 illus., 148 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

Flood Disaster Management.  aThe main thrust of this book is focused on addressing the various interrelated processes, analysis and activities bearing upon sound river management. River basins are complex systems. They are open systems with sometimes ill-defined boundaries. It refers to various aspects essential to achieve a sustainable development of river basins, including water demand and river management, intensified erosion, land water degradation and stream flow pollution which call for appropriate river restoration and training measures. A viable theory for river management must reconcile the various processes that occur at different scales in order to develop a knowledge base by synthesizing research and field studies results. The book is intended to augment the knowledge base of behaviour of rivers and analyse the issues related to rivers so as to develop river system management techniques emerging from in-depth scientific analysis as a priority. This book pools together the expertise, the in-depth knowledge and the experience of the people representing different disciplines bearing on the related aspects of analysis and management of river systems. Audience The book is expected to be useful to academics, practitioners, scientists, water managers, environmentalists, administrators, researchers and students who are involved and have stakes in water management and river system analysis. 0aWater pollution. 0aAquatic ecology . 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEcosystems. 0aBiodiversity.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1906624aWater and Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21300024aEcosystems.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1904X24aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L190311 aSharma, Nayan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981101471008iPrinted edition:z978981101473408iPrinted edition:z978981109363040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-1472-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03886nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256100007400268245014600342250001800488264006500506300006700571336002600638337002600664338003600690347002400726490005900750505022400809520120301033650002302236650002002259650001802279650002902297650002402326650002002350650011402370650010302484650010002587650009502687650011402782700007802896710003402974773002003008776003603028776003603064776003603100830005903136856004603195912001403241950005303255978-981-10-1987-6DE-He21320191022012519.0cr nn 008mamaa161205s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110198769978-981-10-1987-67 a10.1007/978-981-10-1987-62doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a7102231 aCho, Im Sik.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aCommunity-Based Urban Developmenth[electronic resource] :bEvolving Urban Paradigms in Singapore and Seoul /cby Im Sik Cho, Blaž Križnik.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIII, 152 p. 31 illus., 26 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,x2198-25460 aIntroduction -- City and the developmental state -- Neoliberalization and neo-developmental city -- Emerging community-based urban development -- Conclusion: Towards community-driven urban development (what we learned).  aThe book compares different approaches to urban development in Singapore and Seoul over the past decades, by focusing on community participation in the transformation of neighbourhoods and its impact on the built environment and communal life. Singapore and Seoul are known for their rapid economic growth and urbanisation under a strong control of developmental state in the past. However, these cities are at a critical crossroads of societal transformation, where participatory and community-based urban development is gaining importance. This new approach can be seen as a result of a changing relationship between the state and civil society, where an emerging partnership between both aims to overcome the limitations of earlier urban development. The book draws attention to the possibilities and challenges that these cities face while moving towards a more inclusive and socially sustainable post-developmental urbanisation. By applying a comparative perspective to understand the evolving urban paradigms in Singapore and Seoul, this unique and timely book offers insights for scholars, professionals and students interested in contemporary Asian urbanisation and its future trajectories. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aArchitecture. 0aSustainable development. 0aPhysical geography. 0aClimate change.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aCities, Countries, Regions.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K1400024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3130001 aKrižnik, Blaž.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981101985208iPrinted edition:z978981101986908iPrinted edition:z9789811094965 0aAdvances in 21st Century Human Settlements,x2198-254640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-1987-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04688nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001200240245015900252250001800411264007500429300006500504336002600569337002600595338003600621347002400657490004300681505070000724520211101424650001903535650009903554700008703653700007603740700008403816710003403900773002003934776003603954776003603990776003604026830004304062856004604105912001404151950005304165978-3-319-41139-2DE-He21320190618205452.0cr nn 008mamaa161021s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194113929978-3-319-41139-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-41139-22doi 4aQH301-705 7aPSA2bicssc 7aSCI0860002bisacsh 7aPSA2thema04a57022310aEnvironmental History in the Makingh[electronic resource] :bVolume II: Acting /cedited by Cristina Joanaz de Melo, Estelita Vaz, Lígia M.

It gathers works by authors from the five continents, addressing concerns raised by past events so as to provide information to help manage the present and the future. It reveals how our cultural background and examples of past territorial intervention can help to combat political and cultural limitations through the common language of environmental benefits without disguising harmful past human interventions. Considering that political ideologies such as socialism and capitalism, as well as religion, fail to offer global paradigms for common ground, an environmentally positive discourse instead of an ecological determinism might serve as an umbrella common language to overcome blocking factors, real or invented, and avoid repeating ecological loss. Therefore, agency, environmental speech and historical research are urgently needed in order to sustain environmental paradigms and overcome political, cultural an economic interests in the public arena. This book intertwines reflections on our bonds with landscapes, processes of natural and scientific transfer across the globe, the changing of ecosystems, the way in which scientific knowledge has historically both accelerated destruction and allowed a better distribution of vital resources or as it, in today’s world, can offer alternatives that avoid harming those same vital natural resources: water, soil and air. In addition, it shows the relevance of cultural factors both in the taming of nature in favor of human comfort and in the role of the environment matters in the forging of cultural identities, which cannot be detached from technical intervention in the world. In short, the book firstly studies the past, approaching it as a data set of how the environment has shaped culture, secondly seeks to understand the present, and thirdly assesses future perspectives: what to keep, what to change, and what to dream anew, considering that conventional solutions have not sufficed to protect life on our planet. 0aLife sciences.14aLife Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L000041 aJoanaz de Melo, Cristina.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aVaz, Estelita.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCosta Pinto, Lígia M.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941137808iPrinted edition:z978331941138508iPrinted edition:z9783319822761 0aEnvironmental History,x2211-9019 ;v740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41139-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04545nam a22006255i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256100007800270245019100348250001800539264006500557300006600622336002600688337002600714338003600740347002400776490007000800505076900870520093101639650001802570650002302588650002902611650001502640650001702655650002302672650010402695650010002799650009502899650008802994650009403082700008503176700008203261700007603343700007803419700007703497710003403574773002003608776003603628776003603664776003603700830007003736856004603806912001403852950005303866978-981-10-4274-4DE-He21320191024182012.0cr nn 008mamaa170405s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110427449978-981-10-4274-47 a10.1007/978-981-10-4274-42doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.42231 aSaha, Jayanta K.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSoil Pollution - An Emerging Threat to Agricultureh[electronic resource] /cby Jayanta K.

However, unlike other shell albums, compendiums or guides, the central focus of this book is on shells and not molluscs. Therefore, in addition to the classification and identification of shells, the book also addresses aspects including the shell art and shell craft of Goa, the importance of shells, and literary works related to shells and their writers. The book also describes various shell habitats of Goa. The primary objective of this book is to introduce readers to the concept of shell heritage and to spark curiosity and scientific interest, not just among conchologists but also local and visiting beachgoers. Accordingly, it primarily uses straightforward, non-technical language. The book will also appeal to those readers without any previous knowledge of the subject, helping them to understand and appreciate the shells that they collect from the seashores of Goa. 0aMarine sciences. 0aFreshwater. 0aCultural studies. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment.14aMarine & Freshwater Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3600024aCultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2204024aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q160002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955097808iPrinted edition:z978331955098508iPrinted edition:z978331985566040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55099-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03239nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100008300250245010800333250001800441264009800459300003300557336002600590337002600616338003600642347002400678490002300702520144500725650001702170650002902187650002602216650009702242650011902339650009702458710003402555773002002589776003602609830002302645856004602668912001402714950005302728978-1-61091-843-5DE-He21320191023221242.0cr nn 008mamaa171006s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109184359978-1-61091-843-57 a10.5822/978-1-61091-843-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aWorldwatch Institute.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aEarthEdh[electronic resource] :bRethinking Education on a Changing Planet /cby Worldwatch Institute.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aXX, 370 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aState of the World  aEarth education is traditionally confined to specific topics: ecoliteracy, outdoor education, environmental science. But in the coming century, on track to be the warmest in human history, every aspect of human life will be affected by our changing planet. Emerging diseases, food shortages, drought, and waterlogged cities are just some of the unprecedented challenges that today’s students will face. How do we prepare 9.5 billion people for life in the Anthropocene, to thrive in this uncharted and more chaotic future? Answers are being developed in universities, preschools, professional schools, and even prisons around the world. In the latest installment of State of the World, a diverse group of education experts share innovative approaches to teaching and learning in a new era. Topics include systems thinking for kids; the importance of play in early education; social emotional learning; comprehensive sexuality education; indigenous knowledge; sustainable business; medical training to treat the whole person; teaching law in the Anthropocene; and more. This volume addresses schooling at all levels of development, from preschool to professional. Its lessons can inform teachers, policy makers, school administrators, community leaders, parents, and students alike. And its vision will inspire anyone who wants to prepare students not only for the storms ahead but to become the next generation of sustainability leaders. 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental education. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aEnvironmental and Sustainability Education.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O4800024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X330402 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781610918732 0aState of the World40uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-843-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04835nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001500223082001500238245013400253250001800387264007500405300006600480336002600546337002600572338003600598347002400634490005700658505146400715506001602179520082702195650002503022650002003047650002603067650001503093650001603108650002903124650009603153650011403249650010503363650008703468650010003555700007703655700007703732700007803809710003403887773002003921776003603941776003603977776003604013830005704049856004604106912001404152912001404166950005304180978-3-319-55982-7DE-He21320191022021813.0cr nn 008mamaa170804s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195598279978-3-319-55982-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-55982-72doi 4aQH75-77 7aRNK2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRNK2thema04a333.7222310aHigh Mountain Conservation in a Changing World h[electronic resource] /cedited by Jordi Catalan, Josep M Ninot, M.

Although case studies from the Pyrenees are preponderant, conclusions are aimed at any mountain range surrounded by highly populated lowland areas. The chapters give emphasis to approaches from environmental geography, functional ecology, biogeography, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The introductory and closing chapters summarize the main challenges that nature conservation may face in mountain areas under the environmental shifting conditions. This interdisciplinary book will appeal to researchers in mountain ecosystems, students and nature professionals.

It adopts a multidisciplinary variety of perspectives and considers local, basin, provincial and national scales. Canada’s leading authorities from the social sciences, life and natural sciences address pressing water issues in a non-technical language, making them accessible to a wide audience. Even though Canada is seen as a water-rich country, with 7% of the world’s reliable flow of freshwater and many of the world’s largest rivers, the country nevertheless faces a number of significant water-related challenges, stemming in part from supply-demand imbalances but also a range of water quality issues. Against the backdrop of a water policy landscape that has changed significantly in recent years, this book therefore seeks to examine water-related issues that are not only important for the future of Canadian water management but also provide insights into transboundary management, non-market valuation of water, decentralized governance methods, the growing importance of the role of First Nations peoples, and other topics in water management that are vital to many jurisdictions globally. The book also presents forward-looking approaches such as resilience theory and geomatics to shed light on emerging water issues. Researchers, students and those directly involved in the management of Canadian waters will find this book a valuable source of insight. In addition, this book will appeal to policy analysts, people concerned about Canadian water resources specifically as well as global water issues. . 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aEconomic geography. 0aSustainable development.14aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aRenzetti, Steven.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aDupont, Diane P.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942805508iPrinted edition:z978331942807908iPrinted edition:z9783319826684 0aGlobal Issues in Water Policy,x2211-0631 ;v1740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42806-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03336nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001500236245021900251250001800470264007500488300006500563336002600628337002600654338003600680347002400716490003800740520091000778650002101688650002401709650002201733650003201755650013601787650013401923650010002057650009002157700008402247700008002331700008202411710003402493773002002527776003602547776003602583776003602619830003802655856004602693912001402739950005302753978-3-319-46289-9DE-He21320191022121135.0cr nn 008mamaa170117s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194628999978-3-319-46289-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-46289-92doi 4aGF125 7aRPC2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRPC2thema04a307.7622310aRevitalizing City Districtsh[electronic resource] :bTransformation Partnership for Urban Design and Architecture in Historic City Districts /cedited by Hebatalla Abouelfadl, Dalila ElKerdany, Christoph Wessling.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 189 p. 107 illus., 83 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X  aThis book explores the consequences of change in the urban form, the amalgam of the urban space and buildings and on the processes leading to planning and design. Urban form and its fabric result from a multitude of individual interests, ideas and decisions which in turn result in specific and locally diverse spatial arrangements. These processes which are shaping our built environment are embedded in and determined by different contexts of political, cultural and social-economic norms and values. Urban development and the transformation of urban structures are triggered by technological innovations, laws and taxes, new behaviors or the impact of environmental conditions as well as other factors. Based on case studies from Egypt and the Middle East, together with some cases from Germany and Turkey, this book covers a wide range of change processes focused on historic and inner city districts. 0aUrban geography. 0aPhysical geography. 0aSociology, Urban. 0aCities and towns—History.14aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1501024aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions).0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1900024aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2225024aUrban History.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/7270001 aAbouelfadl, Hebatalla.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aElKerdany, Dalila.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWessling, Christoph.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946288208iPrinted edition:z978331946290508iPrinted edition:z9783319834856 0aThe Urban Book Series,x2365-757X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46289-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03870nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001600172072001500188072002300203072001400226082001600240100008100256245011500337250001800452264007500470300006600545336002600611337002600637338003600663347002400699505056100723520145701284650003002741650002302771650001602794650012602810650009402936650009503030710003403125773002003159776003603179776003603215776003603251856004603287912001403333950005303347978-3-319-45355-2DE-He21320191026071322.0cr nn 008mamaa170331s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194535529978-3-319-45355-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-45355-22doi 4aTA703-705.4 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a624.1512231 aSainson, Stéphane.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aElectromagnetic Seabed Loggingh[electronic resource] :bA new tool for geoscientists /cby Stéphane Sainson.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 536 p. 271 illus., 38 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aFrom the Contents: Introduction -- Preamble -- Economic environment -- Elements of geology and oil exploration -- Electrical resistivity and geology -- The electromagnetic seabed logging (SBL): its place in the modern petroleum exploration -- Historic landmarks on the sea bottom SBL -- SBL methods philosophies and interests -- SBL industry and environmental impact -- Overview of the book -- Principles and methods -- Introduction -- Physical laws and principles -- Different methods and associated devices -- Operational limitations: detection problems.  aSeabed logging (SBL) gathers the electromagnetic methods of marine subsoil exploration and more specifically those dedicated to the exploration of oil and gas at sea. Appeared in 2000, these techniques, with more than 500 industrial jobs, present after 15 years of commercial success a discovery record rate of nearly 90 % and seem now to turn the world in the offshore exploration field. Proposing a serious index of the presence of hydrocarbons , electromagnetic SBL coupled with seismic reflection survey is probably the first reliable method for direct detection of hydrocarbons. Complementing the structural concepts of oil exploration used since the 1920s, the SBL now radically modifies the approach and the philosophies of exploration especially those then including drilling and well logging activities.  Electromagnetic Seabed Logging: a new tool for oil and gas prospecting, which original publication in French was in 2012, presents these methods, its principles, advantages, limitations, instruments, modeling and applications.  It is also designed to be a tool for a reflection on the use of electromagnetic energy for the exploration in a conductive medium as sea water thus setting the theoretical and practical limits of these investigations for future developments.  This book is intended of course for the geophysicists and the petroleum geologists, but also for the earth scientists, the reservoir engineers and the log analysts. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aMineral resources. 0aGeophysics.14aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aMineral Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3801024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180092 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945353808iPrinted edition:z978331945354508iPrinted edition:z978331983273940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45355-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04819nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245011500254250001800369264007500387300006500462336002600527337002600553338003600579347002400615490006000639505107000699506001601769520155101785650003003336650002303366650002603389650001503415650002003430650010103450650011203551650008403663650009103747700007803838710003403916773002003950776003603970776003604006776003604042830006004078856004604138912001404184912001404198950005304212978-3-319-46709-2DE-He21320191027151942.0cr nn 008mamaa170413s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194670929978-3-319-46709-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-46709-22doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aRangeland Systemsh[electronic resource] :bProcesses, Management and Challenges /cedited by David D.

This book provides an unprecedented synthesis of the current status of scientific and management knowledge regarding global rangelands and the major challenges that confront them. It has been organized around three major themes. The first summarizes the conceptual advances that have occurred in the rangeland profession. The second addresses the implications of these conceptual advances to management and policy. The third assesses several major challenges confronting global rangelands in the 21st century. This book will compliment applied range management textbooks by describing the conceptual foundation on which the rangeland profession is based. It has been written to be accessible to a broad audience, including ecosystem managers, educators, students and policy makers. The content is founded on the collective experience, knowledge and commitment of 80 authors who have worked in rangelands throughout the world. Their collective contributions indicate that a more comprehensive framework is necessary to address the complex challenges confronting global rangelands. Rangelands represent adaptive social-ecological systems, in which societal values, organizations and capacities are of equal importance to, and interact with, those of ecological processes. A more comprehensive framework for rangeland systems may enable management agencies, and educational, research and policy making organizations to more effectively assess complex problems and develop appropriate solutions. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEcology . 0aClimate change.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U120071 aBriske, David D.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946707808iPrinted edition:z978331946708508iPrinted edition:z9783319835686 0aSpringer Series on Environmental Management,x0172-616140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46709-2  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SOB  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04541nam a22004935i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001500186072002300201072001400224082001400238100008300252245016100335250001800496264007500514300004400589336002600633337002600659338003600685347002400721490004600745505040500791520214901196650002603345650002503371650001703396650009703413650012803510650008803638710003403726773002003760776003603780776003603816776003603852830004603888856004603934912001403980950005303994978-3-319-54546-2DE-He21320191024182319.0cr nn 008mamaa170506s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195454629978-3-319-54546-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-54546-22doi 4aQC851-999 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0420002bisacsh 7aRB2thema04a551.52231 aSelvam, Amujuri Mary.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSelf-organized Criticality and Predictability in Atmospheric Flowsh[electronic resource] :bThe Quantum World of Clouds and Rain /cby Amujuri Mary Selvam.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 139 p. 24 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-52170 aPreface -- Chapter 1 Noise or Random Fluctuations in Physical Systems: A Review -- Chapter 2 Self-Organised Criticality: A Signature of Quantum-like Chaos in Atmospheric Flows -- Chapter 3 Universal inverse power-law distribution for temperature and rainfall in the UK region -- Chapter 4 Signatures of universal characteristics of fractal fluctuations in global mean monthly temperature anomalies. .  aThis book presents a new concept of General Systems Theory and its application to atmospheric physics. It reveals that energy input into the atmospheric eddy continuum, whether natural or manmade, results in enhancement of fluctuations of all scales, manifested immediately in the intensification of high-frequency fluctuations such as the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation and the El-Nino–Southern Oscillation cycles. Atmospheric flows exhibit self-organised criticality, i.e. long-range correlations in space and time manifested as fractal geometry to the spatial pattern concomitant with an inverse power law form for fluctuations of meteorological parameters such as temperature, pressure etc. Traditional meteorological theory cannot satisfactorily explain the observed self-similar space time structure of atmospheric flows. A recently developed general systems theory for fractal space-time fluctuations shows that the larger-scale fluctuation can be visualised to emerge from the space-time averaging of enclosed small-scale fluctuations, thereby generating a hierarchy of self-similar fluctuations manifested as the observed eddy continuum in power spectral analyses of fractal fluctuations. The interconnected network of eddy circulations responds as a unified whole to local perturbations such as global-scale response to El-Nino events. The general systems theory model predicts an inverse power law form incorporating the golden mean τ for the distribution of space-time fluctuation patterns and for the power (variance) spectra of the fluctuations. Since the probability distributions of amplitude and variance are the same, atmospheric flows exhibit quantumlike chaos. Long-range correlations inherent to power law distributions of fluctuations are identified as nonlocal connection or entanglement exhibited by quantum systems such as electrons or photons. The predicted distribution is close to the Gaussian distribution for small-scale fluctuations, but exhibits a fat long tail for large-scale fluctuations. Universal inverse power law for fractal fluctuations rules out unambiguously linear secular trends in climate parameters. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aStatistical physics. 0aClimatology.14aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aApplications of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Theory.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3302024aClimatology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/3110002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954545508iPrinted edition:z978331954547908iPrinted edition:z9783319854199 0aSpringer Atmospheric Sciences,x2194-521740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54546-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03743nam a22004695i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256100008400270245007900354250001800433264008200451300004700533336002600580337002600606338003600632347002400668505029100692520171100983650001802694650002302712650003802735650010402773650012102877710003402998773002003032776003603052776003603088776003603124856004603160912001403206950005303220978-3-662-53740-4DE-He21320191028202633.0cr nn 008mamaa170820s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836625374049978-3-662-53740-47 a10.1007/978-3-662-53740-42doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.42231 aDwivedi, Ravi Shankar.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aRemote Sensing of Soilsh[electronic resource] /cby Ravi Shankar Dwivedi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXVII, 500 p. 166 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aAn introduction to remote sensing -- Earth observation systems -- Digital image processing -- Image interpretation -- An introduction to soils -- Spectral reflectance of soils -- Soil resource mapping -- Soil information systems -- Soil moisture estimation -- Soil fertility evaluation.  aThis book  is about  applications of remote sensing techniques in the studies on soils.

The book showcases the results of engaging distinct communities to enhance our ability to identify emerging problems and to administer international regimes created to solve them. It also reviews the work of the Policy and Earth Observation Innovation Cycle (PEOIC) project, an effort aimed at assessing the impact of satellite observations on environmental policy and to propose a mission going forward that would launch an “innovation cycle”. The achievements of such a mission would feed back to innovations in next-generation observation technology, thus contributing to global policy demand for policy-relevant information.

China’s energy strategy has global ramifications and impact, and central to this strategy is the country’s transition from coal to gas. The book presents the culmination of a two-year collaboration between the Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC) and Shell.  With the Chinese government’s strategic aim to increase the share of gas in the energy mix from 5.8% in 2014 to 10% and 15% in 2020 and 2030 respectively, the book outlines how China can achieve its gas targets. Providing both quantifiable metrics and policy measures for the transition, it is a much needed addition to the literature on Chinese energy policy. The research and the resulting recommendations of this study have fed directly into the Chinese government’s 13th Five-Year Plan, and provide unique insights into the Chinese government and policy-making. Due to its global impact, the book is a valuable resource for policy makers in both China and the rest of the world. 0aEconomic geology. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state. 0aAsia—Politics and government. 0aFossil fuels. 0aClimate. 0aGeotechnical engineering.14aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1701024aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11200024aAsian Politics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91111024aFossil Fuels (incl.

In addition to a general description of the main geological and volcano logical values of the region, it also provides a detailed account of the history of the region, its biological diversity, and its cultural heritage including architecture, folklore and gastronomy. La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone was declared a Natural Park in 1982 to protect the numerous sites of special interest that are found in this region. The Natural Park has been pioneering in many initiatives aimed at preserving the landscape and natural values and promoting awareness of the area within the community. An important part of this book is dedicated to the insights into the educational programs and outreach developed to disseminate the main values of this region. It shows how sustainable tourism has been implemented and the management plan that has been designed to preserve such important natural and cultural values. Including local experts’ views on the topics covered, this book will appeal to a general audience interested not only in visiting the area but also in gaining insights into an example of geoheritage and geoconservation that has successfully integrated of education, tourism, planning and environmental management. 0aPhysical geography. 0aNature conservation. 0aGeomorphology.14aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3500024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J160101 aMartí, Joan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aPlanagumà, Llorenç.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942078308iPrinted edition:z978331942079008iPrinted edition:z9783319824956 0aGeoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism, Conservation and Management Series,x2363-765X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42080-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03513nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254245013900268250001800407264007500425300006400500336002600564337002600590338003600616347002400652490005500676505019200731520115400923650001602077650003802093650002802131650009502159650012102254650011302375700007602488700007502564710003402639773002002673776003602693776003602729776003602765830005502801856004602856912001402902912001402916950005302930978-3-319-49941-3DE-He21320191025161732.0cr nn 008mamaa170210s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194994139978-3-319-49941-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-49941-32doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.122310aGlobal Gravity Field Modeling from Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking Datah[electronic resource] /cedited by Majid Naeimi, Jakob Flury.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 168 p. 35 illus., 25 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aLecture Notes in Earth System Sciences,x2193-85710 aParameter Estimation for Satellite Gravity Field Modeling -- Precise Orbit Determination -- The Classical Variational Approach -- The Acceleration Approach -- The Energy Balance Approach.  aThis book addresses different approaches for recovering the Earth’s gravity field using satellite-to-satellite tracking data. It gathers lectures given at the ‘Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Autumn School’ in Bad Honnef, Germany, October 4-9, 2015. The emphasis of the school was on providing a sound theoretical basis for the different gravity field recovery methods and the numerics of data analysis. The approaches covered here are the variational equations (classical approach), the acceleration approach and the energy balance approach, all of which are used for global gravity field recovery on the basis of satellite observations. The theory of parameter estimation in satellite gravimetry and concepts for orbit determination are also included.   The book guides readers through a broad range of topics in satellite gravimetry, supplemented by the necessary theoretical background and numerical examples. While it provides a comprehensive overview for those readers who are already familiar with satellite gravity data processing, it also offers an essential reference guide for graduate and undergraduate students interested in this field. 0aGeophysics. 0aGeographical information systems. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aMath.

Employing a methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative tools, the main findings of this work indicate that the international migration of Mexicans is moving towards a new phase, an era of “contraction and disengagement” that is characterized by the confluence of multiple changes with repercussions on the functioning of international migration as a socioeconomic strategy at the family and migrant community levels. . 0aEmigration and immigration. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aCulture—Study and teaching.14aMigration.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2400024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aRegional and Cultural Studies.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/4110002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943897908iPrinted edition:z9783319438993 0aSpringerBriefs in Environment, Security, Development and Peace,x2193-3162 ;v2740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43898-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03972nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050000700172072001600179072002300195072001500218082001400233100008000247245013000327250001800457264007500475300005300550336002600603337002600629338003600655347002400691490005700715505039400772520153801166650002402704650002902728650002102757650001702778650009502795650010002890650009202990650008803082710003403170773002003204776003603224776003603260830005703296856004603353912001403399950005303413978-3-319-51511-3DE-He21320191021192422.0cr nn 008mamaa170209s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195151139978-3-319-51511-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-51511-32doi 4aGF 7aRGC2bicssc 7aSOC0150002bisacsh 7aRGC2thema04a304.22231 aEinbinder, Nathan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aDams, Displacement and Development h[electronic resource] :bPerspectives from Río Negro, Guatemala /cby Nathan Einbinder.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVII, 94 p. 7 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X0 aAcknowledgements -- Timeline of events -- Map -- List of Acronyms -- Chapter 1.

Using open-ended interview discussions and testimonies, it focuses on this specific incident of displacement and violence and discusses the outcomes 30 years later. Guatemala’s history is plagued by development projects that resulted in displacement, violence, and increased marginalization of its indigenous and non-indigenous populations. In order to make way for development initiatives such as the production of bananas, African palm, coffee and sugar cane; the extraction of metals such as gold and nickel; or, in this specific case, the construction of a hydroelectric dam, the land-based, predominately Maya campesinos have been systematically uprooted from the lands of their birth and launched into uncertainty. The research findings presented, based on fieldwork conducted from January to April 2009, suggest that the majority of survivors from the massacres that took place are still adversely affected by the destruction of their families and livelihoods. While the circumstances pertaining to this event are unique, similar struggles over land and human rights continue into the present — and if policies remain unchanged, in both international development agencies as well as the Guatemalan government, clashes of this nature only increase in time. 0aCultural geography. 0aEnvironmental geography. 0aHuman geography. 0aEthnography.14aCultural Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J2200024aEnvironmental Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1901024aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aEthnography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X120602 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951510608iPrinted edition:z9783319515120 0aSpringerBriefs in Latin American Studies,x2366-763X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51511-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04697nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001800186072001500204072002300219072001400242082001200256100007700268245010200345250001800447264007500465300006600540336002600606337002600632338003600658347002400694490004700718505035900765520187701124650002303001650002003024650001803044650001803062650002503080650002503105650002003130650011403150650012603264650010003390650012503490650009103615700007903706710003403785773002003819776003603839776003603875776003603911830004703947856004603994912001404040950005304054978-3-319-46497-8DE-He21320191028131429.0cr nn 008mamaa170117s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194649789978-3-319-46497-87 a10.1007/978-3-319-46497-82doi 4aHT390-395 4aHT165.5-169.9 7aRP2bicssc 7aPOL0020002bisacsh 7aRP2thema04a7102231 aPumain, Denise.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aUrban Dynamics and Simulation Modelsh[electronic resource] /cby Denise Pumain, Romain Reuillon.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXII, 123 p. 40 illus., 27 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aLecture Notes in Morphogenesis,x2195-19340 aIs urban future predictable?- The SimpopLocal Model -- Evaluation of the SimpopLocal Model (or: A new reproducible methodology for validating simulation models) -- An incremental multi-modeling method to simulate systems of cities' evolution -- Using models to explore possible futures (contingency and complexity) -- An open innovative and open toolbox.  aThis monograph presents urban simulation methods that help in better understanding urban dynamics. Over historical times, cities have progressively absorbed a larger part of human population and will concentrate three quarters of humankind before the end of the century. This “urban transition” that has totally transformed the way we inhabit the planet is globally understood in its socio-economic rationales but is less frequently questioned as a spatio-temporal process.  However, the cities, because they are intrinsically linked in a game of competition for resources and development, self organize in “systems of cities” where their future becomes more and more interdependent. The high frequency and intensity of interactions between cities explain that urban systems all over the world exhibit large similarities in their hierarchical and functional structure and rather regular dynamics.  They are complex systems whose emergence, structure and further evolution are widely governed by the multiple kinds of interaction that link the various actors and institutions investing in cities their efforts, capital, knowledge and intelligence. Simulation models that reconstruct this dynamics may help in better understanding it and exploring future plausible evolutions of urban systems. This would provide better insight about how societies can manage the ecological transition at local, regional and global scales. The author has developed a series of instruments that greatly improve the techniques of validation for such models of social sciences that can be submitted to many applications in a variety of geographical situations. Examples are given for several BRICS countries, Europe and United States.

It provides an extensive database for a broad range of experts in the scientific community. For many years, scientists around the world have been interested in understanding the evolution of Gondwana and its interaction to Laurentia. The southern Pacific South America proto-Andean Gondwana margin is characterized during the Paleozoic by the presence of orogenic belts accreted to the cratonic areas. The San Rafael Block, located in the south-central area of the Mendoza Province in Argentina, is part of one of these terranes (Cuyania). It is composed of isolated outcrops of pre-Carboniferous units (Mesoproterozoic to Devonian in age), Upper Paleozoic sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks, Permian–Triassic volcaniclastic and magmatic complees and Cenozoic volcanism. 0aEconomic geology. 0aPhysical geography.14aEconomic Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1701024aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J160001 aCingolani, Carlos Alberto.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331950151208iPrinted edition:z978331950152908iPrinted edition:z9783319843292 0aSpringer Earth System Sciences,x2197-959640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50153-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03254nam a22004335i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100007700250245010400327250001800431264009800449300004200547336002600589337002600615338003600641347002400677520156200701650001702263650002602280650001502306650009702321650009702418650010202515710003402617773002002651776003602671856004602707912001402753950005302767978-1-61091-791-9DE-He21320191023152011.0cr nn 008mamaa171006s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109179199978-1-61091-791-97 a10.5822/978-1-61091-791-92doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aPostel, Sandra.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aReplenishh[electronic resource] :bThe Virtuous Cycle of Water and Prosperity /cby Sandra Postel.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aIX, 323 p. 2 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aFor centuries, we have disrupted the natural water cycle in an effort to control water for our own prosperity. Every year, recovery from droughts and floods costs billions of dollars, and we spend billions more on irrigation, dams, sanitation plants, and other feats of engineering. We have reached a tipping point: massive engineering is not only hurting the environment, but unraveling social and political stability. What if the answer was not control of the water cycle, but replenishment?  The author takes readers around the world to explore water projects that work with, rather than against, nature’s rhythms. In New Mexico, forest rehabilitation is safeguarding drinking water, keeping it clear of the black sludge that raged down riverbeds in the aftermath of the Las Conchas Fire. Along the Mississippi River, farmers are planting cover crops to reduce polluted runoff while improving their yields. In China, “sponge cities” are capturing rainwater to curb urban flooding and boost water supplies.   It is efforts like these will be essential for the security of our food, communities, and economies in the coming decades. As climate change disrupts both weather patterns and the models on which we base our infrastructure, we will be forced to adapt. The question is whether we will continue to fight the water cycle, endangering ourselves and the planet, or recognize our place in it and take advantage of the inherent services nature offers. Water is a gift, the source of life itself. How will we use this greatest of gifts? 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aHydrology.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2110002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091924140uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-791-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03875nam a22004815i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236100008100250245010200331250001800433264009800451300004200549336002600591337002600617338003600643347002400679520196900703650001702672650002602689650001202715650001702727650002002744650001802764650009702782650009702879650009602976650011803072710003403190773002003224776003603244856004603280912001403326950005303340978-1-61091-806-0DE-He21320191023222830.0cr nn 008mamaa171006s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109180609978-1-61091-806-07 a10.5822/978-1-61091-806-02doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.72231 aCarolan, Michael S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aNo One Eats Aloneh[electronic resource] :bFood as a Social Enterprise /cby Michael S.

Even those who find time for a family meal are cut off from the people who grew, harvested, distributed, marketed, and sold the foods on their table. Few ever break bread with anyone outside their own socioeconomic group. So why does the author say that that no one eats alone? Because all of us are affected by the other people in our vast foodscape. We can no longer afford to ignore these human connections as we struggle with dire problems like hunger, obesity, toxic pesticides, antibiotic resistance, depressed rural economies, and low-wage labor. The author argues that building community is the key to healthy, equitable, and sustainable food. While researching this book, the author interviewed more than 250 individuals, from flavorists to Fortune 500 executives, politicians to feedlot managers, low-income families to crop scientists, who play a role in the life of food. Advertising consultants told him of efforts to distance eaters and producers—most food firms don’t want their customers thinking about farm laborers or the people living downstream of processing plants. But he also found stories of people getting together to change their relationship to food and to each other. There are community farms where suburban moms and immigrant families work side by side, reducing social distance as much as food miles. There are entrepreneurs with little capital or credit who are setting up online exchanges to share kitchen space, upending conventional notions of the economy of scale. There are parents and school board members who are working together to improve cafeteria food rather than relying on soda taxes to combat childhood obesity. The author contends that real change only happens when we start acting like citizens first and consumers second. This volume is about becoming better food citizens. 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEthics. 0aAgriculture. 0aSocial justice. 0aHuman rights.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aAgricultural Ethics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/E1402024aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X330702 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091866440uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-806-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04090nam a22004575i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245013300250250001800383264009800401300004200499336002600541337002600567338003600593347002400629520221800653650001702871650002002888650002002908650001802928650009702946650011403043650011803157700008003275700007403355710003403429773002003463776003603483856004603519912001403565950005303579978-1-61091-852-7DE-He21320191021172232.0cr nn 008mamaa171031s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109185279978-1-61091-852-77 a10.5822/978-1-61091-852-72doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.722310aEnergy Democracyh[electronic resource] :bAdvancing Equity in Clean Energy Solutions /cedited by Denise Fairchild, Al Weinrub.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aXI, 273 p. 2 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aA global energy war is underway. It is man versus nature, fossil fuel versus clean energy, the haves versus the have-nots, and, fundamentally, an extractive economy versus a regenerative economy. The near-unanimous consensus among climate scientists is that the massive burning of gas, oil, and coal is having a cataclysmic impact on our atmosphere and climate, and depleting earth’s natural resources, including its land, food, fresh water and biodiversity.  These climate and environmental impacts are particularly magnified and debilitating for low-income communities and communities of color that live closest to toxic sites, are disproportionately impacted by high incidences of asthma, cancer and rates of morbidity and mortality, and lack the financial resources to build resilience to climate change.     Energy democracy tenders a response and joins the environmental and climate movements with broader movements for social and economic change. Energy democracy is a way to frame the international struggle of working people, low income communities, and communities of color to take control of energy resources from the energy establishment and use those resources to empower their communities—literally providing energy, economically, and politically. Energy democracy is more important than ever as climate and social justice advocates confront a shocking political reality in the U.S. This volume brings together racial, cultural, and generational perspectives. This diversity is bound together by a common operating frame: that the global fight to save the planet—to conserve and restore our natural resources to be life-sustaining—must fully engage community residents and must change the larger economy to be sustainable, democratic, and just. The contributors offer their perspectives and approaches to climate and clean energy from rural Mississippi, to the South Bronx, to Californian immigrant and refugee communities, to urban and semi-rural communities in the Northeast. Taken together, the contributions in this book show what an alternative, democratized energy future can look like, and will inspire others to take up the struggle to build the energy democracy movement. 0aEnvironment. 0aClimate change. 0aSocial justice. 0aHuman rights.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aSocial Justice, Equality and Human Rights.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X330701 aFairchild, Denise.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aWeinrub, Al.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091929640uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-852-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03029nam a22004335i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222082001400236245013200250250001800382264009800400300004100498336002600539337002600565338003600591347002400627520128100651650001701932650003001949650002601979650009702005650011702102650009702219700007602316710003402392773002002426776003602446856004602482912001402528950005302542978-1-61091-861-9DE-He21320191023152329.0cr nn 008mamaa171012s2017    xxu|    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97816109186199978-1-61091-861-97 a10.5822/978-1-61091-861-92doi 4aGE1-350 7aRN2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRN2thema04a333.722314aThe Community Resilience Readerh[electronic resource] :bEssential Resources for an Era of Upheaval /cedited by Daniel Lerch.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aWashington, DC :bIsland Press/Center for Resource Economics :bImprint: Island Press,c2017.  aX, 340 p. 2 illus.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aThe sustainability challenges of yesterday have become today’s resilience crises. National and global efforts have failed to stop climate change, transition from fossil fuels, and reduce inequality. We must now confront these and other increasingly complex problems by building resilience at the community level. But what does that mean in practice, and how can it be done in a way that’s effective and equitable? This volume offers a new vision for creating resilience, through essays by leaders in such varied fields as science, policy, community building, and urban design. It combines a fresh look at the challenges humanity faces in the 21st century, the essential tools of resilience science, and the wisdom of activists, scholars, and analysts working with community issues on the ground. It shows that resilience is a process, not a goal; how resilience requires learning to adapt but also preparing to transform; and that resilience starts and ends with the people living in a community. Despite the formidable challenges we face, this book shows that building strength and resilience at the community level is not only crucial, but possible. From Post Carbon Institute, this book is a valuable resource for students, community leaders, and concerned citizens. 0aEnvironment. 0aSustainable architecture. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aEnvironment, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U0000924aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/12200024aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X330401 aLerch, Daniel.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978161091930240uhttps://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-861-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03557nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001500185072002300200072001400223072001400237082001200251245016000263250001800423264007500441300006400516336002600580337002600606338003600632347002400668490004700692505066200739520073001401650002402131650001302155650001802168650009802186650009502284650008402379650008902463700007502552700007802627710003402705773002002739776003602759776003602795776003602831830004702867856004602914912001402960950005302974978-3-319-48508-9DE-He21320190624091542.0cr nn 008mamaa170109s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194850899978-3-319-48508-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-48508-92doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema 7aTQ2thema04a55022310aLate Cenozoic of Península Valdés, Patagonia, Argentinah[electronic resource] :bAn Interdisciplinary Approach /cedited by Pablo Bouza, Andrés Bilmes.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 314 p. 66 illus., 62 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Earth System Sciences,x2197-95960 a1.

Final Remarks.  aThis book presents a systematic attempt to generalize several fundamental physical laws related to subsurface fluid flow that are important for a number of contemporary applications in the areas of hydrogeology, reservoir engineering and rock mechanics. It also covers the history of discovering these physical laws, their respective scope of validity, and their generalizations or extensions. The physical laws discussed include Darcy’s law, Darcy-Buckingham law and Hooke’s law. Darcy’s law is the fundamental law for subsurface fluid flow. For low-permeability media, it is not always adequate because of the strong fluid–solid interaction. Though the Darcy-Buckingham law is often used for modeling subsurface multiphase flow, it is only valid under the local equilibrium condition. This condition does not hold in many cases, especially when fingering flow occurs. It is well known that subsurface fluid flow is coupled with mechanical deformation of subsurface media; in some applications, this coupling can play a dominant role. The continuum-scale elastic deformation of natural rock, however, does not always follow the traditional form of Hooke’s law. The book also presents applications of the proposed generalizations of the physical laws to several important engineering projects. 0aHydrogeology. 0aEngineering geology. 0aEngineering—Geology. 0aFoundations. 0aHydraulics. 0aGeophysics. 0aGeology. 0aGeotechnical engineering. 0aFluids.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aGeoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2302024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1800924aGeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1700224aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3701024aFluid- and Aerodynamics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P210262 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943448308iPrinted edition:z978331943450608iPrinted edition:z9783319828275 0aTheory and Applications of Transport in Porous Media,x0924-6118 ;v2840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43449-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03038nam a22004455i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239100008200255245006700337250001800404264007500422300006600497336002600563337002600589338003600615347002400651490003500675505031000710520110301020650003802123650012102161710003402282773002002316776003602336776003602372776003602408830003502444856004602479912001402525950005302539978-3-319-47358-1DE-He21320190704051310.0cr nn 008mamaa161121s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194735819978-3-319-47358-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-47358-12doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.2852231 aKrzywicka-Blum, Ewa.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMap Functionsh[electronic resource] /cby Ewa Krzywicka-Blum.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIX, 207 p. 100 illus., 44 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X0 aThe Phenomenon of Maps -- Elements of the Map Contents with (0D) Reference Units -- Elements of the Maps Contents with Linear (1d) Reference Units -- Elements of the Maps Contents with Surface (2d) Reference Units -- The Synthetic Structural Characteristics Determining the Qualificational Areas Division.  aThis book departs from typical cartography textbooks, which tend to focus on the characteristics of the methods and means of expression. Instead, it offers an explanation of the individual perspective on the map as a specific product of civilization, one that constitutes a component of social communication. The layout highlights the essential property of cartographic notation, namely: the way of forming the map’s content elements, adjusted to its purpose. This property is ensured thanks to the dimension of reference units in relation to the observation scale of the objects, and by topological consistency between the reference units system and real layout of the objects. An exploration of the characteristics of various ways of depicting a map’s content elements, organized in the reference units dimension, is preceded by a general section accentuating the position of cartography among other sciences, as well as the definition and general properties of a map. The book’s closing chapter includes a separate textbook overview of the applications of taxonomic methods in cartography. 0aGeographical information systems.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J130002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331947357408iPrinted edition:z978331947359808iPrinted edition:z9783319837192 0aSpringer Geography,x2194-315X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47358-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04883nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245010400254250001800358264006700376300006600443336002600509337002600535338003600561347002400597490004000621505154200661520104302203650001903246650001603265650002003281650002503301650002003326650009203346650011303438650011403551650009603665650010003761700007603861700007703937710003404014773002004048776003604068776003604104776003604140830004004176856004604216912001404262950005304276978-94-024-1101-0DE-He21320191028201728.0cr nn 008mamaa170530s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894024110109978-94-024-1101-07 a10.1007/978-94-024-1101-02doi 4aG575-G597 7aRGB2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGB2thema04a919.822310aArctic Ice Shelves and Ice Islandsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Luke Copland, Derek Mueller.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 422 p. 141 illus., 77 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aSpringer Polar Sciences,x2510-04750 aPart 1.

Risk Analysis and Hazards of Ice Islands (Mark Fuglem). .  aThis book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of Arctic ice shelves, ice islands and related features. Ice shelves are permanent areas of ice which float on the ocean surface while attached to the coast, and typically occur in very cold environments where perennial sea ice builds up to great thickness, and/or where glaciers flow off the land and are preserved on the ocean surface. These landscape features are relatively poorly studied in the Arctic, yet they are potentially highly sensitive indicators of climate change because they respond to changes in atmospheric, oceanic and glaciological conditions. Recent fracturing and breakup events of ice shelves in the Canadian High Arctic have attracted significant scientific and public attention, and produced large ice islands which may pose a risk to Arctic shipping and offshore infrastructure. Much has been published about Antarctic ice shelves, but to date there has not been a dedicated book about Arctic ice shelves or ice islands. This book fills that gap. 0aPolar regions. 0aGeophysics. 0aClimate change. 0aNature conservation. 0aEarth sciences.14aPolar Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1602024aGeophysics and Environmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3200024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aEarth Sciences, general.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G000021 aCopland, Luke.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aMueller, Derek.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940241099008iPrinted edition:z978940241100308iPrinted edition:z9789402414882 0aSpringer Polar Sciences,x2510-047540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-1101-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04381nam a22005895i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250100007900266245015700345250001800502264007500520300006400595336002600659337002600685338003600711347002400747505067100771520100201442650002902444650002802473650003102501650001902532650002602551650005102577650001802628650010002646650011402746650011602860650011802976650010203094650016003196700008103356700007903437710003403516773002003550776003603570776003603606776003603642856004603678912001403724950005303738978-3-319-42719-5DE-He21320191023162318.0cr nn 008mamaa161122s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194271959978-3-319-42719-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-42719-52doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.9272231 aSikdar, Subhas K.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMeasuring Progress Towards Sustainabilityh[electronic resource] :bA Treatise for Engineers /cby Subhas K.

Through lean and elegant text, readers will learn that human interconnections with other species and ecosystems are severely endangered precisely because we lack - by our evolutionary self-confidence - the very coherence that is everywhere around us abundantly demonstrated. What our species has deemed to be superior is, according to Tobias and Morrison, the cumulative result of a tragically tenuous argument predicated on the brink of our species’ self-destruction, giving rise to a most unique proposition: We either recognize the miracle of other sentient intelligence, sophistication, and genius, or risk enshrining the shortest lived epitaph of any known vertebrate in earth’s 4.1 billion years of life. Tobias and Morrison draw on 45 years of research in fields ranging from ecological anthropology, animal protection and comparative ethics to literature and spirituality - and beyond. They deploy research in animal and plant behavior, biocultural heritage contexts from every continent and they bring to bear a deeply metaphysical array of perspectives that set this book apart from any other. The book departs from most work in such fields as animal rights, ecological aesthetics, comparative ethology or traditional animal and plant behaviorist work, and yet it speaks to readers with an interest in those fields. A deeply provocative book of philosophical premises and hypotheses from two of the world’s most influential ecological philosophers, this text is likely to stir uneasiness and debate for many decades to come. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment. 0aLife sciences. 0aConservation biology. 0aEcology . 0aSemiotics. 0aEnvironmental sciences—Philosophy. 0aPhilosophy of nature.14aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aPopular Life Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q2500024aConservation Biology/Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1915024aSemiotics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/N5300024aEnvironmental Philosophy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3700024aPhilosophy of Nature.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/E340401 aMorrison, Jane Gray.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331945963908iPrinted edition:z978331945965308iPrinted edition:z978331983409240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-45964-6  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04243nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172050001000190072001700200072002300217072001600240072001500256082001600271082001800287100007600305245016300381250001800544264007500562300003600637336002600673337002600699338003600725347002400761505036900785520156101154650002302715650002602738650002102764650002002785650002902805650002002834650011202854650009202966650011303058650010003171650013103271710003403402773002003436776003603456776003603492776003603528856004603564912001403610950005303624978-3-319-54699-5DE-He21320191022032919.0cr nn 008mamaa170302s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195469959978-3-319-54699-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-54699-52doi 4aK3581-3598.22 4aGE170 7aLNKJ2bicssc 7aLAW0340002bisacsh 7aLNKJ2thema 7aRNA2thema04a344.04622304a363.705612231 aStua, Michele.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aFrom the Paris Agreement to a Low-Carbon Bretton Woods h[electronic resource] :bRationale for the Establishment of a Mitigation Alliance /cby Michele Stua.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXIII, 239 p.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aPreface -- Introduction: The Paris Agreement: Opportunities and Limits for Climate Change -- Part I – The Paris Agreement and the Carbon Club: Prominence of Article 6 -- Part II The Carbon Club: Features and Structure within Article 6 -- Part III the Governance of the Club and its Key Implications -- Part IV Conclusions: Scenarios and Policy Recommendations. .  aThis book investigates the existing and possible links between the concept of a Carbon Club and the Paris Agreement. In doing so the book defines those criteria that may lead to an effective establishment of a Carbon Club acting within the mandate of the Paris Agreement and identifies the key questions that such an option may help to tackle: Which low-carbon pathways are compatible with the new temperature targets set by the Paris Agreement? Can new entities like the Carbon Club have a decisive role in guaranteeing the alignment of the aggregate mitigating actions with the global objectives identified within the Paris Agreement? What role will be played by market and non-market approaches within the proposed framework? How can economic, social, and environmental sustainability be ensured during the implementation of the Agreement? How can justice and equity be encouraged between the Parties and all the involved actors as required by the Agreement? Which instruments can be designed and adopted to provide the expected degree of transparency for the new system? To respond to these questions the book adopts a holistic approach, able to emphasize the strong interrelations. The book discusses the opportunity to develop a Carbon Club within the Article 6 framework, and provides a feasible roadmap for its means of implementation, rules and governance structure. The final result is a feasible policy proposal that takes into account all the key issues introduced by the questions, and draws a roadmap towards a 'low-carbon Bretton Woods’. . 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aEconomic policy. 0aClimate change. 0aEnvironmental economics. 0aMacroeconomics.14aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aEconomic Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W3401024aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnvironmental Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4800024aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W320002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331954698808iPrinted edition:z978331954700808iPrinted edition:z978331985458840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54699-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04928nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001500185072002300200072001400223072001400237082001200251245016800263250001800431264007500449300006600524336002600590337002600616338003600642347002400678505077700702520183801479650002403317650002303341650002303364650002003387650002003407650001703427650009803444650009403542650011403636650010603750650008803856700007603944700007904020710003404099773002004133776003604153776003604189776003604225856004604261912001404307950005304321978-3-319-42638-9DE-He21320191029032257.0cr nn 008mamaa161114s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194263899978-3-319-42638-97 a10.1007/978-3-319-42638-92doi 4aGB3-5030 7aRB2bicssc 7aSCI0190002bisacsh 7aRB2thema 7aTQ2thema04a55022310aLand-Cover and Land-Use Changes in Eastern Europe after the Collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991h[electronic resource] /cedited by Garik Gutman, Volker Radeloff.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 247 p. 84 illus., 65 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aIntroduction -- Overview of changes in land use and land cover in Eastern Europe -- Changes in urban areas in Eastern Europe according to nighttime light data -- Land change in the Carpathian Region before and after major institutional changes -- Underlying drivers and spatial determinants of post-Soviet agricultural land abandonment in temperate Eastern Europe -- The effects of institutional changes on landscapes in Ukraine -- Forest change and carbon budgets in the Black Sea region -- Land management and the impact of the 2010 extreme drought event on the agricultural and ecological systems of European Russia -- Agricultural Fires in European Russia, Belarus, and Lithuania and Their Impact on Air Quality, 2002-2012 -- Land Change in European Russia: 1982-2011.  aThis work analyzes the effects of one of the most dramatic changes of entire societies that the world has ever witnessed. It explores the collapse of socialist governance and management systems on land cover and land use in various parts of Eastern Europe. As readers will discover, this involved rapid and unprecedented changes such as widespread agricultural abandonment. Changes in the countries of the former Soviet block, former Soviet Union republics, and European Russia are compared and contrasted. Contributing authors cover topics such as the carbon cycle and the environment, effects of institutional changes on urban centers and agriculture, as well as changes in wildlife populations. The volume includes analysis of the drivers of agricultural land abandonment, forest changes in Black Sea region, an extreme drought event of 2010, impacts of fires on air quality and other land-cover/land-use issues in Eastern Europe. Satellite data used were mostly from optical sensors including night lights observations, with both coarse and medium spatial resolution. Ultimately, this work highlights the importance of understanding socioeconomic shocks: that is, those brief periods during which societies change rapidly resulting in significant impact on land use and the environment. Thus it shows that change is often abrupt rather than gradual and thereby much harder to predict. This book is a truly international and interdisciplinary effort, written by a team of scientists from the USA, Europe, and Russia. It will be of interest to a broad range of scientists at all levels within natural and social sciences, including those studying recent and ongoing changes in Europe. In particular, it will appeal to geographers, environmental scientists, remote sensing specialists, social scientists and agricultural scientists. 0aPhysical geography. 0aLandscape ecology. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aRemote sensing. 0aAgriculture.14aEarth System Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3500024aLandscape Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1905824aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1301024aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L110061 aGutman, Garik.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRadeloff, Volker.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331942636508iPrinted edition:z978331942637208iPrinted edition:z978331982624040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42638-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04730nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239100007600255245012100331250001800452264007500470300006500545336002600610337002600636338003600662347002400698490004400722505045500766520179201221650003803013650003203051650001903083650002203102650002903124650002303153650002003176650002403196650012103220650010303341650011603444650010003560650011403660650009503774710003403869773002003903776003603923776003603959830004403995856004604039912001404085950005304099978-3-319-51526-7DE-He21320191022151636.0cr nn 008mamaa170209s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195152679978-3-319-51526-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-51526-72doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.2852231 aPick, James B.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aRenewable Energy: Problems and Prospects in Coachella Valley, Californiah[electronic resource] /cby James B.

A conceptual model, Integrated Policy Assessment Theory for Renewable Energy, is given and justified for renewable energy development in the Valley. Further, Central Place Theory, well known in urban geography, is discussed and it is seen to be very relevant to the understanding the Coachella Valley’s city sizes and renewable energy markets, compared to the greater Los Angeles region. The book’s research methods include geospatial mapping and analysis and interviews leaders in small innovative firms, government agencies, and nonprofits. The many findings of the book include evaluation of how the Valley’s socioeconomic and transportation features influence renewable energy development, the scope of markets for solar and wind energy in the Valley, spatial confluences of renewable energy facilities with other features, and the future potential of ground-source heat pumps. Benchmark comparison of the Coachella Valley is done with two leading wind and solar regions elsewhere in the country, to assess the Valley’s evolution and opportunities in renewable energy. The book concludes by evaluating the prospects and problems for the growth of renewable entrepreneurship, manufacturing, assembly, and operations in Coachella Valley. This leads to policy recommendations grounded in the book’s research findings, which are intended for use by governments, businesses, and nonprofits. The hope is that many of the developmental experiences from the Coachella Valley will be helpful not only within the Valley but to other communities nationwide and worldwide. . 0aGeographical information systems. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state. 0aSustainable development. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aEconomic geography.14aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1300024aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11200024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J120002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331951525008iPrinted edition:z9783319515274 0aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-416540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-51526-7  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05574nam a22007095i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100008200254245038900336250001800725264006500743300006500808336002600873337002600899338003600925347002400961490006300985505035501048520145101403650002602854650002602880650002302906650002002929650001902949650009702968650009703065650011403162650009003276700007703366700008003443700007703523700008103600700007703681700007503758700007703833700007503910700007703985700007804062700007904140700007804219700008004297700007704377700007204454710003404526773002004560776003604580776003604616776003604652830006304688856004604751912001404797950005304811978-981-10-3364-3DE-He21320191023161342.0cr nn 008mamaa170322s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110336439978-981-10-3364-37 a10.1007/978-981-10-3364-32doi 4aRA565-600 7aMMR2bicssc 7aMED0780002bisacsh 7aMKV2thema04a613.12231 aGatzweiler, Franz W.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aAdvancing Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environmenth[electronic resource] :bImplementing a Systems Approach  /cby Franz W.

The unique feature of this book is its “systems approach” to urban health and wellbeing: solution-oriented for science and society and not purely theoretical, it can be applied in the context of decision-making, and has the potential to unlock cities’ unused potential by promoting health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the inter- and transdisciplinary urban issues addressed in this book are examined from a cross-sectoral perspective – e.g. the transport sector is addressed in connection with air pollution, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and the loss of productivity. The interconnected thinking to urban health and wellbeing makes the book a particularly valuable resource. Decision makers in city administrations and civil society organizations from different geographical regions will find the book an informative and inspiring guide for delivering towards the goals of the New Urban Agenda, for which health can be the vital indicator of progress. Graduate students and researchers will be attracted by the case studies, systems methods and models provided in the book. 0aEnvironmental health. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aPublic health.14aEnvironmental Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1800524aEnvironmental Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X3304024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aPublic Health.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/H270021 aZhu, Yong-Guan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aDiez Roux, Anna V.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aCapon, Anthony.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aDonnelly, Christel.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aSalem, Gérard.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aAyad, Hany M.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aSpeizer, Ilene.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aNath, Indira.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aBoufford, Jo I.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aHanaki, Keisuke.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aRietveld, Luuk C.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aRitchie, Pierre.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aJayasinghe, Saroj.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aParnell, Susan.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aZhang, Yi.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981103363608iPrinted edition:z978981103365008iPrinted edition:z9789811098550 0aUrban Health and Wellbeing, Systems Approaches,x2510-349040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-3364-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05882nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245016400257250001800421264007500439300006500514336002600579337002600605338003600631347002400667505209300691520127202784650003004056650001904086650002104105650001704126650003104143650001904174650011004193650010604303650008804409650011604497650016404613700007804777700007704855700008104932700007605013710003405089773002005123776003605143776003605179856004605215912001405261950005305275978-3-319-39259-2DE-He21320191220125810.0cr nn 008mamaa160929s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193925929978-3-319-39259-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-39259-22doi 4aGE300-350 7aTQD2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQD2thema04a363.706322310aTrends in Asian Water Environmental Science and Technologyh[electronic resource] /cedited by Futoshi Kurisu, AL.

Environmental Challenges and Impacts -- CHAPTER4. Socioeconomic Impacts of Roads -- Chapter5. Sociocultural Impacts of Roads -- PARTIV: THE WAY FORWARD -- Chapter6. The Future of Himalayan Mobilities.  aThe goals of this book are to update information on the effects of rural road development, both in Nepal and globally, explain the environmental, socioeconomic, and sociocultural impacts of expanding rural road networks in the Nepalese Himalaya, and to promote further studies on rural road development throughout the world based on studies and investigations performed in Nepal. Readers will learn about the history of rural road development, as well as the challenges to effectively design and construct rural roads and how these obstacles may be overcome. Chapter one offers a global review of road development, and both the positive and negative impacts of rural road implementation. Chapter two defines mobilities within the context of coupled social and ecological systems, specifically in the Nepalese Himalaya. Chapters three through five detail the environmental, socioeconomic, and sociocultural impacts expanding rural road networks through several case studies. The concluding chapter summarizes the findings of the book, discussing the need for interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration to avoid negative consequences. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, policy makers, and development organizations. . 0aHuman geography. 0aEconomic geography. 0aEcology . 0aTransportation. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy.14aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1200024aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aTransportation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11900024aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U160021 aLassoie, James P.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331955755708iPrinted edition:z9783319557564 0aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,x2191-554740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-55757-1  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03299nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172050001600182072001700198072002300215072001600238082001400254245014700268250001800415264007500433300005400508336002600562337002600588338003600614347002400650490004000674505031900714520094601033650003201979650002902011650002102040650008602061650010002147650010102247700008302348700008302431710003402514773002002548776003602568776003602604830004002640856004602680912001402726950005302740978-3-319-41752-3DE-He21320191023121904.0cr nn 008mamaa161209s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194175239978-3-319-41752-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-41752-32doi 4aGN370 4aHB1951-2577 7aJFFN2bicssc 7aSOC0070002bisacsh 7aJBFH2thema04a304.822310aRefugee and Returnh[electronic resource] :bDisplacement along the Thai-Myanmar Border /cedited by Supang Chantavanich, Aungkana Kamonpetch.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 71 p. 25 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aMigration Studies,x2570-4001 ;v280 a1.Introduction: Background of Protracted Conflict and Displacement in Myanmar -- 2.Sustainable Return: A Case Study of Indochinese Refugee Return in the 1980s -- 3.Myanmar as a Post-Conflict Society? -- 4.Challenges of Reintegration for Returnees in Myanmar -- 5.Analysis and Conclusions on Voluntary Repatriation.  aThis book provides essential background information on the protracted displacement of several ethnic groups along the Thai-Myanmar border before turning to an examination of whether Myanmar has now shifted into a post-conflict society, the expected challenges involved in reintegrating returnees to Myanmar, and the possibility of voluntary and sustainable repatriation. The authors conclude that, given the current, ongoing security challenges and the lack of job opportunities in Myanmar, voluntary repatriation is not yet feasible as a long-term solution. After more than 60 years of conflict and displacement, Myanmar is now in the midst of political reform. A new nominally civilian government and the promise of elections in 2015 have raised hopes of a lasting democratic transition after years of military rule. For the first time in decades, repatriation of refugees in Thailand is being discussed as a real and imminent possibility. 0aEmigration and immigration. 0aInternational relations. 0aQuality of life.14aMigration.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2400024aInternational Relations.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91200024aQuality of Life Research.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X230001 aChantavanich, Supang.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aKamonpetch, Aungkana.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941750908iPrinted edition:z9783319417516 0aMigration Studies,x2570-4001 ;v2840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41752-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04578nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245009600266250001800362264006500380300006600445336002600511337002600537338003600563347002400599490008200623505189200705520027802597650002902875650002702904650002202931650005102953650002803004650002803032650010003060650009803160650009603258650010203354650011403456700008503570710003403655773002003689776003603709776003603745776003603781830008203817856004603899912001403945950005303959978-981-10-2917-2DE-He21320191025111615.0cr nn 008mamaa170224s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110291729978-981-10-2917-27 a10.1007/978-981-10-2917-22doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aSustainable Management of Luxuryh[electronic resource] /cedited by Miguel Angel Gardetti.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aSingapore :bSpringer Singapore :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIII, 510 p. 70 illus., 47 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aEnvironmental Footprints and Eco-design of Products and Processes,x2345-76510 aRedefining the Essence of Sustainable Luxury Management: The SLOW Value Creation Model -- The Strategic Role of Authenticity in the Luxury Business -- Creating a Culture of Shared Value Through Luxury Branding -- Sustainable performance management in high-end luxury goods firms: the use of the "Reputation-Clock" Model -- Sustainable luxury and fashion: from global standardisation to critical customisation -- Climate Change: Implications and Strategies for the Luxury Sector -- Identifying The Luxury Sustainability Paradox: Three Steps Toward A Solution -- Strike a Pose: Luxury for Sustainability -- Sustainable Luxury in Hotels and Resorts: Is it Possible? -- Diamonds, development, and dollars: A case study on a newly founded gemological lab in Botswana aiming at sustainable community empowerment -- More than skin deep: a service design approach to making the luxury personal care industry more sustainable -- Promoting Sustainable Management: World Wildlife Fund’s Hybrid Strategy to Change the Luxury Industry -- Luxury Products and Services and the Sustainable Value Chain: Six Management Lessons from Gucci -- Luxury Fashion Brand Sustainability and Flagship Store Design.

Earth's Climate System -- Chapter 2. Forecasting Global Warming -- Chapter 3. Paris INDCs -- Chapter 4. Implementation. .0 aOpen Access  aThis book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This volume presents an Empirical Model of Global Climate developed by the authors and uses that model to show that global warming will likely remain below 2ºC, relative to preindustrial, throughout this century provided: a) both the unconditional and conditional Paris INDC commitments are followed; b) the emission reductions needed to achieve the Paris INDCs are carried forward to 2060 and beyond. The first section of the book provides a short overview of Earth’s climate system, describing and contrasting climatic changes throughout the planet’s history and anthropogenic changes post-Industrial Revolution. The second section describes the climate model developed by the authors (Canty et al., Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013) and contrasts the model with climate models used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2013 Report. Chapter 3 examines both the unconditional (i.e., firm commitments) and conditional Paris INDCs (commitments contingent on financial flow and/or technology transfer) through the lens of their climate model and concludes that if all of the Paris INDCs are followed, then they are indeed a beacon of hope for Earth’s climate. The fourth part of the book offers a perspective of energy needs and subsequent emissions reductions required to meet the Paris temperature goals, illuminating challenges faced both in the developing world and the developed world. Throughout the book, easy-to-understand charts and graphics illustrate concepts. The scientific basis of Chapters 2 and 3 was first presented in a keynote session of the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society in January, 2016. 0aClimate change. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state.14aClimate Change.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1200724aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1120001 aCanty, Timothy P.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aHope, Austin P.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aTribett, Walter R.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aBennett, Brian F.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331946938608iPrinted edition:z978331946940908iPrinted edition:z9783319836232 0aSpringer Climate,x2352-069840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46939-3  aZDB-2-EES  aZDB-2-SOB  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03967nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172072001600190072002300206072001500229082001400244245017200258250001800430264007500448300006600523336002600589337002600615338003600641347002400677490005200701505044900753520116301202650001802365650002402383650001602407650008902423650009502512650009502607700008302702700008002785700007502865700008002940700007803020710003403098773002003132776003603152776003603188776003603224830005203260856004603312912001403358950005303372978-3-319-53348-3DE-He21320191026102531.0cr nn 008mamaa170817s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195334839978-3-319-53348-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-53348-32doi 4aGB1001-1199.8 7aRBK2bicssc 7aSCI0810002bisacsh 7aRBK2thema04a551.422310aHypogene Karst Regions and Caves of the Worldh[electronic resource] /cedited by Alexander Klimchouk, Arthur N.

The cases include both well-known and newly recognized hypogene karst regions and caves of the world. They all focus on geological, hydrogeological, geodynamical and evolutionary contexts of hypogene speleogenesis. The last decade has witnessed the boost in recognition of the possibility, global occurrence, and practical importance of hypogene karstification (speleogenesis), i.e. the development of solutional porosity and permeability by upwelling flow, independent of recharge from the overlying or immediately adjacent surface. Hypogene karst has been identified and documented in many regions where it was previously overlooked or misinterpreted. The book enriches the basis for generalization and categorization of hypogene karst and thus improves our ability to adequately model hypogene karstification and predict related porosity and permeability. It is a book which benefits every researcher, student, and practitioner dealing with karst. 0aHydrogeology. 0aPhysical geography. 0aGeophysics.14aHydrogeology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1900524aPhysical Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1600024aGeophysics/Geodesy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G180091 aKlimchouk, Alexander.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aN.

The final modeling of the margin was achieved in the late Miocene, when the interaction between the Antarctic and North Atlantic water-masses favored climatic and oceanographic changes with a profound effect on morphosedimentary features. In the Quaternary, the different regions of the margin distinctly responded to such changes. Whereas in the shelf the main modeling factors were the sea-level fluctuations of glacioeustatic origin and consequent marine-continental stratigraphic records, in the slope (particularly in the sector corresponding to the passive margin) the prevailing effect was the interaction between water-masses and the sea floor, giving origin to contouritic depositional systems accompanied of gravity processes responsible of turbiditic and mass-wasting deposits. Different relationships between contouritic and turbiditic facies respond to distinct combinations of oceanic circulation variability and the indirect effect on the sea floor of sea-level fluctuations. As a result of this complexity in the regional processes in the framework of the broad hemispheric oceanographic-climatic conditioning factors, the ACM can be considered as a complete archive for the Southern Ocean. 0aPaleontology . 0aOceanography. 0aGeomorphology. 0aSedimentology.14aPaleontology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3900024aOceanography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G2500524aGeomorphology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1601024aSedimentology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G170801 aLaprida, Cecilia.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aGarcía Chapori, Natalia L.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331904195708iPrinted edition:z9783319041971 0aSpringerBriefs in Earth System Sciences,x2191-589X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-04196-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05046nam a22005775i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001400242082001200256100008200268245011100350250001800461264007500479300006500554336002600619337002600645338003600671347002400707490005600731505182600787520079202613650001603405650002603421650002803447650001703475650001303492650001203505650011303517650009703630650009803727650008803825650012403913650010004037710003404137773002004171776003604191776003604227776003604263830005604299856004604355912001404401950005304415978-3-319-43604-3DE-He21320191021202724.0cr nn 008mamaa160928s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194360439978-3-319-43604-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-43604-32doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema 7aTQ2thema04a5502231 aTampieri, Francesco.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aTurbulence and Dispersion in the Planetary Boundary Layerh[electronic resource] /cby Francesco Tampieri.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVI, 241 p. 72 illus., 62 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aPhysics of Earth and Space Environments,x1610-16770 aIntroduction -- The basic definition of the planetary boundary layer -- A few words about turbulence -- The structure and evolution of the PBL -- The transport problem and the turbulent dispersion -- Observations -- Numerical experiments and simulations -- Appendix -- References -- A summary of mathematics and physics for PBL -- Eulerian and Lagrangian description -- The equations for velocity and passive scalars -- Stochastic variables -- Reynolds averaged equations -- Universal features of shear-dominated turbulence -- Exercises -- References -- The basic paradigm: horizontal homogeneity over flat terrain -- The governing equations -- Inner and outer scaling from the wind profile -- Similarity, Obukhov length and beyond -- The surface layer in neutral and unstable conditions -- The outer region in neutral conditions -- Some features of the convective boundary layer -- Stable boundary layers -- Some remarks about the spectra -- Exercises -- References -- Horizontal heterogeneities -- Explicit treatment vs. parameterization -- Internal boundary layers -- The boundary layer over hills and valleys -- Subgrid effects of the heterogeneous surface features -- Low wind, small vertical fluxes -- Canopy flow and the urban PBL -- Exercises -- References -- Turbulent dispersion -- The transport problem for fluid parcels -- Absolute dispersion of tracer parcels -- Two-parcel dispersion -- Meandering -- Observations of dispersion -- The stochastic approach to the absolute dispersion of tracer parcels -- Dispersion of inertial particles -- Exercises -- References -- Numerical modeling of turbulence for PBL flows -- Introduction -- Closures for the Reynolds-averaged equations -- Large Eddy Simulations -- Numerical simulations of PBL problems -- Exercises -- References -- Solutions -- References -- Index.  aThis book offers a comprehensive review of our current understanding of the planetary boundary layer, particularly the turbulent exchanges of momentum, heat and passive scalars between the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere. It presents and discusses the observations and the theory of the turbulent boundary layer, both for homogeneous and more realistic heterogeneous surface conditions, as well as the dispersion of tracers. Lastly it addresses the main problems arising due to turbulence in weather, climate and atmospheric composition numerical models. Written for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate-level students and atmospheric researchers, it is also of interest to anyone wanting to understand the findings and obtain an update on problems that have yet to be solved. 0aGeophysics. 0aAtmospheric sciences. 0aEnvironmental sciences. 0aMeteorology. 0aPhysics. 0aFluids.14aGeophysics and Environmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P3200024aAtmospheric Sciences.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3600024aEnvironmental Physics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1900124aMeteorology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31200024aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P1902124aFluid- and Aerodynamics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P210262 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331943602908iPrinted edition:z978331943603608iPrinted edition:z9783319828664 0aPhysics of Earth and Space Environments,x1610-167740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-43604-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03814nam a22004455i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001300172072001600185072002300201072001500224082001600239245016500255250001800420264007500438300006700513336002600580337002600606338003600632347002400668490008100692505155100773520044702324650003802771650012102809700008202930710003403012773002003046776003603066776003603102776003603138830008103174856004603255912001403301950005303315978-3-319-57336-6DE-He21320190704011511.0cr nn 008mamaa170530s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195733669978-3-319-57336-67 a10.1007/978-3-319-57336-62doi 4aGA1-1776 7aRGW2bicssc 7aSCI0300002bisacsh 7aRGW2thema04a910.28522310aAdvances in Cartography and GIScienceh[electronic resource] :bSelections from the International Cartographic Conference 2017 /cedited by Michael P.

The book also describes research, curriculum innovation, and campus greening in a comprehensive way. Many universities in the United Kingdom are currently engaged in high-quality research on matters related to sustainable development. Yet there are relatively few publications that provide a multidisciplinary overview of these efforts and projects, and in which researchers from across the spectrum of the natural and social sciences have the opportunity to present their research methods, the results of their empirical research, or exchange ideas about on-going and future research initiatives focusing on sustainable development. Addressing this important gap in the literature, this book contributes to the further development of this rapidly growing field in the United Kingdom and beyond. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental management.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U170091 aLeal Filho, Walter.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331947882108iPrinted edition:z978331947884508iPrinted edition:z9783319838489 0aWorld Sustainability Series,x2199-737340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47883-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04149nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001700240245017000257250001800427264006700445300006300512336002600575337002600601338003600627347002400663490008500687505085600772520078201628650003002410650002302440650002202463650003002485650001802515650011002533650009402643650011002737650012302847650010302970700008503073700007703158710003403235773002003269776003603289776003603325776003603361830008503397856004603482912001403528950005303542978-94-017-7600-4DE-He21320191220130519.0cr nn 008mamaa170314s2017    ne |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97894017760049978-94-017-7600-47 a10.1007/978-94-017-7600-42doi 4aGE300-350 7aTQD2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQD2thema04a363.706322310aGreen Defense Technologyh[electronic resource] :bTriple Net Zero Energy, Water and Waste Models and Applications /cedited by Michael Evan Goodsite, Sirkku Juhola.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aDordrecht :bSpringer Netherlands :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aX, 286 p. 91 illus., 74 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aNATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security,x1874-65190 aIntroduction -- 2.

Recognizing that the challenge extends beyond finding technological solutions to achieve triple net zero outcomes, the contributions also address the need for a systemic view in the planning phase, as well as adequate communication and policy measures and incentives. 0aEnvironmental monitoring. 0aEnergy efficiency. 0aWaste management. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aArchitecture.14aMonitoring/Environmental Analysis.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1400X24aEnergy Efficiency.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11800024aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aCities, Countries, Regions.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/K140001 aGoodsite, Michael Evan.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aJuhola, Sirkku.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978940177598408iPrinted edition:z978940177599108iPrinted edition:z9789401776042 0aNATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security,x1874-651940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-7600-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03174nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001000172072001600182072002300198072001500221082001200236100007700248245014600325250001800471264007500489300006500564336002600629337002600655338003600681347002400717505017200741520072300913650002301636650001901659650002201678650002901700650001801729650001801747650009401765650011601859650010001975650008902075650011202164700008102276710003402357773002002391776003602411776003602447776003602483856004602519912001402565950005302579978-3-319-51175-7DE-He21320191022081700.0cr nn 008mamaa170227s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195117579978-3-319-51175-77 a10.1007/978-3-319-51175-72doi 4aTN260 7aPNV2bicssc 7aSCI0480002bisacsh 7aPNV2thema04a5532231 aGolding, Barry.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aMetals, Energy and Sustainabilityh[electronic resource] :bThe Story of Doctor Copper and King Coal /cby Barry Golding, Suzanne D.

The colourful chronology of our efforts to extract metals from minerals and energy from fossil fuels is presented from earliest times until the present day. The difficult concept of human sustainability is examined in the context of continually decreasing real prices of energy and metals. This book integrates the latest findings on our historic use of technology to continually produce cheaper metals even though ore grades have been decreasing. Furthermore, it shows that the rate of technological improvement must increase if metals are to be produced even more cheaply in the future. 0aMineral resources. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state. 0aSustainable development. 0aEconometrics. 0aFossil fuels.14aMineral Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3801024aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11200024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEconometrics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W2901024aFossil Fuels (incl.

This volume examines how international donors influenced the reconstruction and recovery policy agenda as well as its implementation. Moreover, as a result of the no-contact policy, recovery and reconstruction schemes were delivered with limited involvement from the de facto Hamas government, raising questions about the efficacy of the “governance without government” concept. This book examines the dynamics and the impact of international donors’ financing of Civil Society Organizations that were involved in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. It expands on the existing analysis of transnational aid actors’ influence found in the public policy literature while contributing to our understanding of the concrete, and more specific, impact of international donors’ financing on the livelihoods of the Palestinian people. 0aInternational organization. 0aSocial policy. 0aPolitical science. 0aPoverty. 0aEconomic sociology.14aInternational Organization.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91201024aSocial Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W3402024aGovernance and Government.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91122024aDevelopment Aid.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91304024aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X220202 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331949660308iPrinted edition:z9783319496627 0aThe Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science,x2367-4024 ;v740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49661-0  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04320nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001800172050001000190072001700200072002300217072001600240072001500256082001600271082001800287100007900305245023600384250001800620264008200638300006700720336002600787337002600813338003600839347002400875490008300899505092800982520095601910650002302866650002602889650002002915650002302935650002402958650011202982650011303094650009403207650009503301710003403396773002003430776003603450776003603486776003603522830008303558856004603641912001403687950005303701978-3-642-29237-8DE-He21320191220130634.0cr nn 008mamaa161025s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97836422923789978-3-642-29237-87 a10.1007/978-3-642-29237-82doi 4aK3581-3598.22 4aGE170 7aLNKJ2bicssc 7aLAW0340002bisacsh 7aLNKJ2thema 7aRNA2thema04a344.04622304a363.705612231 aCabot, Charlène.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aClimate Change, Security Risks and Conflict Reduction in Africah[electronic resource] :bA Case Study of Farmer-Herder Conflicts over Natural Resources in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Burkina Faso 1960–2000 /cby Charlène Cabot.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aBerlin, Heidelberg :bSpringer Berlin Heidelberg :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXXXIV, 190 p. 36 illus., 30 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda1 aHexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace,x1865-5793 ;v120 aFrom the Contents: Part 1: The climate induced Degradation and increased Scarcity of Resources as Factors challenging security -- Introduction into current Climate Change, Conflict Concerns and Farmer-Herder Conflicts -- Literature Review: Causal Linkages between Environmental Change and Conflict -- Part 2: Theoretical Background: The Importance of Political Factors in a precarious Human and Environmental Security challenged by global, regional and local Environmental Changes -- Theoretical Prisms: Human and Environmental Security and Conflict Reduction -- The Role of Political Factors in Undermining or Maintaining Environmental and Human Security in a context of Climate Change -- Part 3: Case Study: Farmer-Herder Conflicts in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana -- Background Information -- Methodological Approach to the Case Study -- Study of the three Research Hypotheses in the three selected Countries.  aThe environmental impacts of climate change represent challenges to the societies and are anticipated to contribute to the destabilization of their human security, endangering ways of life of human-beings and inducing conflicts. Vulnerable societies are likely to see a surge in conflicts and violence happen. However social, economic and political circumstances mediating environmental changes are fundamental and determine whether the societal challenge will be a conflictive one. In Western Africa, major environmental changes are expected and the region hosts especially vulnerable population groups (i.e. herders and farmers). Political factors might contribute to determining the occurrence, escalation or reduction of conflict between those groups. The influence of integration policies, of the fairness of land tenure, and of decentralization and participation possibilities on conflicts is studied in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Burkina Faso. 0aEnvironmental law. 0aEnvironmental policy. 0aClimate change. 0aPolitical science. 0aEconomic geography.14aEnvironmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1600224aClimate Change Management and Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31400024aPolitical Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/91100024aEconomic Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J120002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978364229236108iPrinted edition:z978364229238508iPrinted edition:z9783662568545 0aHexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace,x1865-5793 ;v1240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-29237-8  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03714nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001500172050001300187072001700200072002300217072001600240082001400256245010100270250001800371264007500389300006700464336002600531337002600557338003600583347002400619490004000643505053000683520101001213650001802223650002302241650003002264650001502294650010402309650012602413650009502539700007202634700007402706700007702780710003402857773002002891776003602911776003602947776003602983830004003019856004603059912001403105950005303119978-3-319-41870-4DE-He21320191022022302.0cr nn 008mamaa160919s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194187049978-3-319-41870-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-41870-42doi 4aQH541.5.S6 4aS622-627 7aRBGB2bicssc 7aNAT0110002bisacsh 7aRBGB2thema04a631.422314aThe Soils of the USAh[electronic resource] /cedited by L.T.

Through a unique case study on the city of Turin it explores social innovation and the relationship between the urban regeneration process and housing practices. The case study is a useful example in the debate about changing welfare arrangements in Europe and the emerging rhetoric of social innovation in housing. The book encourages debate about the tools needed to address housing needs, exploring current practices. Chapters look at the spatial dimension of housing, the financial mechanisms put in place, the actors involved in the field (public authorities, ethical investors, tertiary sector, inhabitants and locals.) The case study of the metropolitan city of Turin demonstrates complex housing needs and the innovative character of public and private solutions. As this book combines theory and practice, it appeals to both academics and practitioners. It is especially be of interest to spatial planners, geographers and social scientists interested in housing policies, and those interested in the Italian context of the case study. 0aHuman geography. 0aRegional planning. 0aUrban planning. 0aRegional economics. 0aSpatial economics. 0aSociology, Urban.14aHuman Geography.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X2600024aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/J1500024aRegional/Spatial Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4900024aUrban Studies/Sociology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/X222502 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941889608iPrinted edition:z9783319418919 0aSpringerBriefs in Geography,x2211-416540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41890-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04260nam a22005535i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001600184072002300200072001400223082001200237100007600249245013800325250001800463264007500481300005400556336002600610337002600636338003600662347002400698505049600722520144101218650001202659650001702671650002002688650002502708650001802733650001902751650002202770650002802792650011802820650011402938650009603052650008903148650011603237650011403353710003403467773002003501776003603521776003603557856004603593912001403639950005303653978-3-319-41270-2DE-He21320191022092950.0cr nn 008mamaa160920s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194127029978-3-319-41270-27 a10.1007/978-3-319-41270-22doi 4aGE1-350 7aPDZ2bicssc 7aNAT0000002bisacsh 7aWN2thema04a5002231 aCribb, Julian.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aSurviving the 21st Centuryh[electronic resource] :bHumanity's Ten Great Challenges and How We Can Overcome Them /cby Julian Cribb.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXIV, 255 p. 17 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 aForeword -- List of tables and figures -- Chapter 1.

The Getting of Wisdom (Homo sapientior).  aThe book explores the central question facing humanity today: how can we best survive the ten great existential challenges that are now coming together to confront us? Besides describing these challenges from the latest scientific perspectives, it also outlines and integrates the solutions, both at global and individual level and concludes optimistically. This book brings together in one easy-to-read work the principal issues facing humanity. It is written for the two next generations who will have to deal with the compounding risks they inherit, and which flow from overpopulation, resource pressures and human nature. The author examines ten intersecting areas of activity (mass extinction, resource depletion, WMD, climate change, universal toxicity, food crises, population and urban expansion, pandemic disease, dangerous new technologies and self-delusion) which pose manifest risks to civilization and, potentially, to our species’ long-term future. This isn’t a book just about problems. It is also about solutions. Every chapter concludes with clear conclusions and consensus advice on what needs to be done at global level —but it also empowers individuals with what they can do for themselves to make a difference. Unlike other books, it offers integrated solutions across the areas of greatest risk. It explains why Homo sapiens is no longer an appropriate name for our species, and what should be done about it. 0aNature. 0aEnvironment. 0aClimate change. 0aNature conservation. 0aBiodiversity. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state. 0aEnvironmental sciences.14aPopular Science in Nature and Environment.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1600024aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/31300024aNature Conservation.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2600824aBiodiversity.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1903124aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11200024aEnvironmental Science and Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G370002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941269608iPrinted edition:z978331941271940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41270-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)06216nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172050001000186072001600196072002300212072001500235082001600250245015400266250001800420264006100438300006700499336002600566337002600592338003600618347002400654505195100678520187302629650002904502650003104531650001904562650002204581650003204603650001904635650002204654650010004676650011604776650011004892650010305002650011605105700007505221700007905296710003405375773002005409776003605429776003605465776003605501856004605537912001405583950005305597978-81-322-3577-4DE-He21320191220125537.0cr nn 008mamaa160822s2017    ii |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97881322357749978-81-322-3577-47 a10.1007/978-81-322-3577-42doi 4aGE195-199 4aGE196 7aRNU2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aRNU2thema04a338.92722310aBiohydrogen Production: Sustainability of Current Technology and Future Perspectiveh[electronic resource] /cedited by Anoop Singh, Dheeraj Rathore.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aNew Delhi :bSpringer India :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXVIII, 320 p. 44 illus., 36 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

Among several available biofuel options, biohydrogen is considered as one of the best environmentally clean fuel and a strong candidate to fulfil the future demand of sustainable energy resource. Although, biohydrogen production technology and its use as a fuel is still in infancy stage. Selection of most sustainable production pathway, increase in production upto industrial scale and cost efficiency are some issue still persist with the biohydrogen research. “Biohydrogen Production: Sustainability of Current Technology and Future Perspective” is giving an insight for the sustainable production of biohydrogen at industrial scale. The process of biohydrogen production is complex and to opt the best suited production system for industrial scale is a frantic task. This book will provide an in depth information on all available technologies for biohydrogen production and feedstock options to choose upon. This book is also providing information on present status of the research in the field and possibility to change future fuel economy in to biohydrogen economy. Experts views provided in the chapters by renowned researchers from all over the globe in the field of biohydrogen research made this book a cornucopia of present research and future perspective of biohydrogen. This book is targeted at the researchers working on biohydrogen as well as the bioenergy scientist planning to move towards biohydrogen research. This book will provide a platform for motivation of researchers and industrialists for innovative ideas and thoughts to bring biohydrogen production at industrial scale. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental engineering. 0aBiotechnology. 0aWaste management. 0aRenewable energy resources. 0aEnergy policy. 0aEnergy and state.14aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3400024aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3300024aWaste Management/Waste Technology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3100124aRenewable and Green Energy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/11100024aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/1120001 aSingh, Anoop.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aRathore, Dheeraj.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978813223575008iPrinted edition:z978813223576708iPrinted edition:z978813223856040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-3577-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04188nam a22006015i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240100007600254245014600330250001800476264006500494300006500559336002600624337002600650338003600676347002400712490008200736505046500818520097401283650003002257650002802287650002802315650001902343650002702362650002902389650010102418650011402519650009002633650009802723650010002821700007702921700007402998700007803072700007903150710003403229773002003263776003603283776003603319776003603355830008203391856004603473912001403519950005303533978-981-10-4137-2DE-He21320191028231731.0cr nn 008mamaa170410s2017    si |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97898110413729978-981-10-4137-27 a10.1007/978-981-10-4137-22doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.72231 aAlsamawi, Ali.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut14aThe Social Footprints of Global Tradeh[electronic resource] /cby Ali Alsamawi, Darian McBain, Joy Murray, Manfred Lenzen, Kirsten S.

The second part of the book describes the footprints of the social accounts that have the highest impact on people’s well-being (employment, income, working conditions,and inequality) and how they are linked to international trade. The need for reporting on such indicators falls within the purview of corporate/national social responsibility (part of the Triple Bottom Line). The book offers a valuable contribution to the literature for researchers and students engaged in the social sciences, human rights, and the implications of international trade on labour in developing countries.iv>. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aIndustrial engineering. 0aProduction engineering. 0aSocial policy. 0aProduction management. 0aSustainable development.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aIndustrial and Production Engineering.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T2200824aSocial Policy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W3402024aOperations Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/51900024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aMcBain, Darian.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aMurray, Joy.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aLenzen, Manfred.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aWiebe, Kirsten S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978981104135808iPrinted edition:z978981104136508iPrinted edition:z9789811350580 0aEnvironmental Footprints and Eco-design of Products and Processes,x2345-765140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4137-2  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)03469nam a22005055i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245013300254250001800387264007500405300006500480336002600545337002600571338003600597347002400633520124600657650003001903650001501933650002801948650002901976650010102005650010202106650009902208650012302307650010002430700007902530700007902609710003402688773002002722776003602742776003602778776003602814856004602850912001402896950005302910978-3-319-30216-4DE-He21320191025162255.0cr nn 008mamaa170309s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193021649978-3-319-30216-47 a10.1007/978-3-319-30216-42doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aIrrigated Agriculture in Egypth[electronic resource] :bPast, Present and Future /cedited by Masayoshi Satoh, Samir Aboulroos.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXV, 290 p. 118 illus., 82 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda  aThis book targets the issue of water scarcity in Egypt as a typical example of the world water crisis. Today, the available water resource is facing its limit because of rapid increase in water demand as a result of population growth and changes in peoples’ life-style. The basic idea to solve the problem of water scarcity is that the irrigation sector, the biggest user of water, should increase water use efficiency. However, the real problem is how this can be achieved in view of the crucial need for water in this sector. This book addresses this challenge through case studies from the Nile delta in Egypt. The water problem in the Nile delta, the major source for water in Egypt, is discussed in this book from all its various aspects. This book covers the situation before and after the advent of the Aswan High Dam, so that the reader understands the entire development. Another special feature are the extensive and scientific descriptions of contemporary topics in water and agriculture, especially from the viewpoint of water saving and sustainability. These descriptions are based on field experiments and surveys in a six-year international research project. Topics of this book are local, but their implications are global. 0aEnvironmental management. 0aHydrology. 0aAgricultural economics. 0aSustainable development.14aEnvironmental Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U1700924aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21100024aAgricultural Economics.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/W4700024aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21500024aSustainable Development.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U340001 aSatoh, Masayoshi.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aAboulroos, Samir.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331930215708iPrinted edition:z978331930217108iPrinted edition:z978331980753940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30216-4  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)04358nam a22005655i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226072001500242082001700257082001800274245017600292250001800468264007500486300006500561336002600626337002600652338003600678347002400714505070000738520116601438650002102604650001502625650001702640650001902657650001502676650016402691650008402855650008802939650010603027650010203133700009503235700008503330700010203415710003403517773002003551776003603571776003603607776003603643856004603679912001403725950005303739978-3-319-41372-3DE-He21320191023171737.0cr nn 008mamaa161003s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833194137239978-3-319-41372-37 a10.1007/978-3-319-41372-32doi 4aTD419-428 7aTQSW2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aTQSW2thema 7aKNB2thema04a363.739422304a363.7394622310aWaters of Brazilh[electronic resource] :bStrategic Analysis  /cedited by Carlos Eduardo de Mattos Bicudo, José Galizia Tundisi, Marcos Cortesão Barnsley Scheuenstuhl.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aCham :bSpringer International Publishing :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aXII, 191 p. 46 illus., 32 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.

The water cycle was addressed based on an integrated point of view, aiming at joining technological and ecological solutions and integrating quantitative and qualitative aspects of this important environmental asset. Issues such as the water resources management and irrigated agriculture, water and health, water and economy, conservation and reuse as management tools, water in the Brazilian semi arid, water in Amazon, urbanization and water resources, education for the sustainability of water resources, groundwater, availability, pollution and eutrophication of water and science, technology and innovation are of the utmost importance for this exact moment in Brazil, and particularly to the State of Sao Paulo. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly contribute towards a sustainable management of water resources trough the coordinated work of different fields of science, progressing a systemic view about water, that would then finally allow management professionals the possibility of an integral action in anticipating problems and thus anticipate solutions. . 0aWater pollution. 0aEcology . 0aAgriculture. 0aWater quality. 0aHydrology.14aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aEcology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1900724aAgriculture.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1100624aWater Quality/Water Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/21200024aHydrology/Water Resources.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/2110001 ade Mattos Bicudo, Carlos Eduardo.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aGalizia Tundisi, José.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aCortesão Barnsley Scheuenstuhl, Marcos.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331941371608iPrinted edition:z978331941373008iPrinted edition:z978331982336240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41372-3  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05063nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001600186072002300202072001500225082001400240245017200254250001800426264007500444300006400519336002600583337002600609338003600635347002400671505170900695520105402404650003003458650002003488650003203508650001703540650002303557650010103580650011403681650010303795650008803898650011403986700007704100700008104177710003404258773002004292776003604312776003604348776003604384856004604420912001404466950005304480978-3-319-32059-5DE-He21320191022162742.0cr nn 008mamaa160906s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833193205959978-3-319-32059-57 a10.1007/978-3-319-32059-52doi 4aGE300-350 7aRNF2bicssc 7aTEC0100002bisacsh 7aRNF2thema04a333.722310aQuantification of Climate Variability, Adaptation and Mitigation for Agricultural Sustainabilityh[electronic resource] /cedited by Mukhtar Ahmed, Claudio O.

The book begins with a discussion of the nature of asteroids and the likelihood of future Earth-impacts. The story then turns to the discovery of a global sediment layer attributed to the fallout from the impact and a piecing together of the evidence that revealed a monster crater, buried under the Gulf. Reviewed is the myriad of geological and fossil evidence that suggested the disastrous sequence of events occurring when a "nuclear-like" explosion ripped through the sea, Earth, and atmosphere, thus forming the mega-crater and tsunami. The aftermath of the Chicxulub's event initiated decades and more of major global climate changes including a "Nuclear Winter" of freezing darkness and blistering greenhouse warming. A chapter is dedicated to the science of tsunamis and their model generation, including a portrayal of the globally rampaging Chicxulub waves. The asteroid's global devastation killed off some 70% of animal and plant life including the dinosaurs. The study of an ancient Cambrian fossil bed suggests how "roll of the dice" events can affect the future evolution of life on Earth. We see how Chicxulub's apparent destruction of the dinosaurs, followed by the their replacement with small mammals, altered forever the progress of human evolution. This book presents a fascinating glimpse through the lens of the natural sciences - the geology, climatology, and oceanography, of the effects of an enormous astronomical event. 0aEarth. 0aGeology. 0aHistorical geology. 0aAstronomy. 0aPlanetology. 0aNatural disasters. 0aAstrophysics.14aPopular Earth Science.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q2200024aHistorical Geology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1702024aPopular Science in Astronomy.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/Q1100924aPlanetology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G1801024aNatural Hazards.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/G3200024aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P220061 aEzrailson, Cathy.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978331939485508iPrinted edition:z978331939486208iPrinted edition:z9783319818979 0aPopular Science,x2626-611340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-39487-9  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)05789nam a22005415i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001200172072001500184072002300199072001400222072001500236082001500251245009400266250001800360264005700378300006600435336002600501337002600527338003600553347002400589505152200613520208702135650001904222650001404241650001004255650002104265650002304286650001904309650009004328650011304418650016404531650010404695650009004799700008304889710003404972773002005006776003605026776003605062776003605098856004605134912001405180950005305194978-4-431-56451-5DE-He21320191220125808.0cr nn 008mamaa161207s2017    ja |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97844315645159978-4-431-56451-57 a10.1007/978-4-431-56451-52doi 4aGE1-350 7aTQ2bicssc 7aSCI0260002bisacsh 7aTQ2thema 7aPSB2thema04a571.9522310aBiological Effects by Organotinsh[electronic resource] /cedited by Toshihiro Horiguchi.  a1st ed. 2017. 1aTokyo :bSpringer Japan :bImprint: Springer,c2017.  aVIII, 254 p. 66 illus., 36 illus. in color.bonline resource.  atextbtxt2rdacontent  acomputerbc2rdamedia  aonline resourcebcr2rdacarrier  atext filebPDF2rda0 a1.Analytical techniques for trace levels of organotin compounds and contamination by organotin and alternative antifouling paints in the marine environment -- Analytical techniques for trace levels of organotin compounds in the marine environment -- Continuing issues of contamination by organotins in the marine environment after domestic and international legislation -- Emerging issues on contamination and adverse effects by alternative antifouling paints in the marine environments -- 2.Contamination by organotins and organotin-induced imposex in gastropod mollusks -- Contamination by organotins and its population-level effects involved by imposex in prosobranch gastropods -- Current status of contamination by organotins and imposex in prosobranch gastropods in Europe -- Current Status of Organotin Contamination and Imposex in Neogastropods along Coastal Marine Environments of Southeast Asia and China -- Current status of contamination by organotins and imposex in prosobranch gastropods in Korea -- 3.Fundamental knowledge of physiology and mode of action of organotins to induce the development of imposex in gastropod mollusks -- Neuropeptides and their physiological functions in mollusks -- Mode of action of organotins to induce the development of imposex in gastropods, focusing on steroid and the retinoid X receptor activation hypotheses -- Effects of organotins in mollusk’s lipids -- Reproductive organ development in the ivory shell, Babylonia japonica and the rock shell, Thais clavigera.  aThis book provides an overview of the induction mechanism of imposex caused by organotin compounds in gastropods, as well as fundamental information on the physiology and biochemistry of reproduction in mollusks. Are the sex hormones of gastropod mollusks vertebrate-type steroids, or neuropeptides? What about lipid disturbance and membrane toxicity due to organotin compounds? The book also discusses the latest findings on the role of nuclear receptors, such as retinoid X receptor (RXR), retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), in the development of imposex in gastropods. Further, it describes the current state of contamination by organotins in the marine environment and gastropod imposex, especially focusing on Europe and Asia, introduces readers to analytical techniques for organotin compounds, and assesses the contamination and adverse effects of alternatives to organotin-based antifouling paints. Imposex, a superimposition of male genital tracts, such as penis and vas deferens, on female gastropod mollusks, is known as a typical phenomenon or consequence of endocrine disruption in wildlife. Imposex is typically induced by very low concentrations of organotin compounds, such as tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPhT) from antifouling paints on ships and fishing nets. Reproductive failure may be brought about in severely affected stages of imposex, resulting in population decline and/or mass extinction. Thus, gastropod imposex has been recognized as a critical environmental pollution issue. Although gastropod imposex is also highly interesting for the biological sciences because of its acquired pseudohermaphroditism and/or sex change by certain chemicals, such as TBT and TPhT, the mechanism that induces the development of imposex remains unclear, possibly due to our limited understanding of the endocrinology of gastropod mollusks. This book offers a useful guide for professionals and students interested in the fields of aquatic biology, invertebrate physiology, ecotoxicology and environmental science. 0aEcotoxicology. 0aWildlife. 0aFish. 0aWater pollution. 0aAquatic ecology . 0aInvertebrates.14aEcotoxicology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U2500124aFish & Wildlife Biology & Management.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L2508024aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/U3504024aFreshwater & Marine Ecology.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L1906624aInvertebrates.0http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L250581 aHoriguchi, Toshihiro.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978443156449208iPrinted edition:z978443156450808iPrinted edition:z978443156789940uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-56451-5  aZDB-2-EES  aEarth and Environmental Science (Springer-11646)02859nam a22005295i 4500001001800000003000900018005001700027007001500044008004100059020003700100024003500137050001400172072001700186072002300203072001600226082001200242082001400254100008100268245011800349250001800467264007500485300003400560336002600594337002600620338003600646347002400682505012400706520054300830650001601373650003501389650001801424650002601442650001801468650009501486650009701581650016001678650012701838650008901965710003402054773002002088776003602108776003602144776003602180856004602216912001402262950005302276978-3-319-57315-1DE-He21320191029021216.0cr nn 008mamaa170529s2017    gw |    s    |||| 0|eng d  a97833195731519978-3-319-57315-17 a10.1007/978-3-319-57315-12doi 4aQC801-809 7aPHVG2bicssc 7aSCI0320002bisacsh 7aPHVG2thema04a55022304a526.12231 aHowarth, Richard J.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut10aDictionary of Mathematical Geosciences h[electronic resource] :bWith Historical Notes /cby Richard J.
